You mentioned that the seats would match the paint you were looking for... I was doing some research on paints that match the interior and oddly enough, I found that Red Primer (Walmart) is pretty much DEAD ON!... I did some tests by (2000 grit) sanding the primer, then layering on some coats of lacquer clear coat. It worked VERY well. Of course I never used it on the real VX, it was for some of my Tamiya Model kits...
