Vinyl Upholstery Color Matching

[VONCE]

Does anyone have any recommendations for vinyl? Where to purchase or a brand that is a good match for our boats? I'm looking to repair/reupholster some damaged spots on my seats. I need to find a vinyl that matches as close as possible, since some of the cushions will be next to cushions that have not been reupholstered. I got some samples from a local fabric store, but I'm not happy with them - they aren't a close enough match. The color is wrong and the texture is wrong. I understand it's going to be hard to find an exact match due to age and fading, but I'll be happy with something "close enough."

I just reupholstered an atv seat with outdoor/marine fabric that we purchased on amazon. I'd have to look for the actual product, but they had a lot of color choices. I didn't have to match anything and just went with a dark gray, but was pleased with the finished product.

That probably doesn't help you, much. Lol I guess my point was that the quality of fabric was ok, and they had lots of colors.

I also had the local fibrenew shop do some of the cushions on our '92 Celebrity. They were able to match the boat pretty well. Wasn't too expensive.

I am satisfied with Bry-Tech product, the feature I love the most about this product is its moisture-resistant build. This means you can just enjoy sailing and having fun without worrying about water splashes. No matter the weather, your boat will remain free from mold and mildew if you use this product. Their fabrics have different surface textures and patterns so you have plenty of options. A leather-look is a usual go-to for boat cushions, and this product has plenty of those in various colors.

A lot of choises for marine vinyl out there. Some hard to find factory original materials can be found here. Boat Carpet, Boat Flooring, Boat & Marine Upholstery | Great Lakes Skipper I know @Scottintexas found the original fishscale grey for his boat locally.
We have been using A Guide to Vinyl Fabric - Sailrite for our upholstery needs. We used Morbern® Sanibel Cream 54" Vinyl Fabric - Sailrite for our cockpit cushions and are using Ultraleather® Original Ermine 54" Fabric - Sailrite for the interior cabin cushions on the Beneteau.
