i bought gbody's interior spray paint color med dark gray #1598 and as you can see in the pic, it does not really match the dash. I know that i can go to a body shop and have them make me paint for me but has anyone used a paint from anyone that matches the rest of the dash?

I had a similar issue with SEM paint.

Switched to Kirban's paint and it's bit darker.

Never used GBody's paint, otherwise would have mentioned it to you. Good thing the shipping was cheap ;-)
 
Any Paint jobber can mix up the paint. Take an existing interior panel from the lower dash (out of the sun) and take it and get it matched.
 
The stuff I got from Kirbans a long time ago matched pretty darn good IMO. It wasn't exact put it was pretty good.. Though this was in a shadowed area that normal people wouldn't be able to tell anyhow (ecu kickpanel).
 
GN owners usually don't have a problem. Those of us with T's have had to deal with this for a while.

This is what passes for a match for Burgandy interior

 
I just found this thread , im working on getting my glove box matching the dash better

Any luck? I have the same problem as the OP on the upper dash bezel and glove box door. I guess the sun darkens the vinyl on the dash but doesn't darken the plastic and metal the same way? IDK, but I used paint from Kirban and it came out way too light.
 
I wil post on my other thread interior paint too light once I install my repaint glove box
 
final results
very pleased !! pics not that great but the color match by Benjamin Moore is way better than what I bought from two of our vendors

Cool. So when do you start selling this stuff, count me in on a can.
