Kirban caries rattle can paints that are nearly a perferct match - their p/n 6822.

Find a local auto paint supplier and have them match to your interior. It's usually SEM though.

guys, they color matched my glove box door and made a pint for me. $45! I will let you know how it comes out!

thanks!

So a spot repair gun is ideal to spray the dye on with. I use a sata minijet but it produces a nice fine spray that is less prone to run and it makes it a bit easier to lay on the thin base cotes The only downside is that the fan isn't terribly wide and you can end up with streaks.

well guys the color looks great. This dupont vinyl paint is more durable then the can stuff, imo. I did prime the glove box due it being metal but I am very happy with the results. I will never buy a can of this stuff again. If I need to paint something i will match it again, more money but well worth it
