Spray paint that matches interior?

Does anyone know of a spray paint that matches the maroon interior in the FB? All the plastic in the hatch area is faded and I want to try to paint it.

I've heard really good things about the Duplicolor Vinyl stuff. I know you're talking plastic but maybe if you did the Duplicolor stuff, stay within that family and you can match it all. This stuff actually works amazingly well on vinyl, even seats! They show a burgandy.

SEM burgundy was a 9 out of 10 match for me, worked great!!

I took the whole panel apart (cloth insert, etc), cleaned with duplicolor paint prep, let dry, then sprayed. Works awesome on the rear hatch carpet too....

Not sure of an online source for SEM, but most auto paint and body supply stores stock or can get it.

Just following up on the SEM Napa Red i recommended...I am in the process of "fixing" an inner windshield pillar that was brittle and I knocked a hole in. I got the hole filled the other day and after sanding decided to hit it with a coat of color to show me high and low spots....I just sprayed the area of the repair and just around it. You can see the "repair" because the texture is different, but the Napa red is so close you cannot tell where i painted and where i hadnt...its that close to mine (83 LE Maroon interior).....
