does gm make it? what about a dye for the steering wheel?(i know kirban but anywhere else?)
 
SEM makes it also, im not sure of the exact color, since there are 2-3 greys tho, but u can probably get it locally.
 
The problem with the interior colors especially gray is that there are at least 3 different shades...from my experience most of the vendors sell the SEM Presidio Gray which matches some interior pieces but it too light for others...Duplicolor has a Vinyl and Fabric spray paint VS11 Charcoal Gray which again matches some interior pieces like the steering column and the plastic piece that goes up front covering the speakers but this paint is too dark for some things...the one color I haven't been able to find in a spray can is the one for the A-pillars and related trim...the SEM is too light and the Charcoal is too dark...I was thinking about taking the piece to an auto paint store and have them mix up some paint that matches and put it in a spray can...

Postons sell SEM Color Coat#15163 PRESIDIO.I assume that means grey.The cap is darker than the actual paint.I just did a side by side comparison on an old broken dashplate speaker cover thingy. And the Kirban product was closer to the grey dash plate. The SEM was real light and harder to work with,SEM goes on real thick and you can see your using too much paint.Kirbans brand is The Motor Co.Real easy to use.Spray can has good valve control no problem trying to light coat,blends nicely.Anybody want a can of SEM real cheap its missing about two sqwirts.:rolleyes:
 
Don't laugh,but I went Menards with a piece of trim,had them use their computer on it. The match was perfect. Don't laugh!!
 
I did the same thing here locally, and had them put it in a puff can for me, iirc it was about $10, perfect match.....

:cool:
