interior trim paint (not rice)

I am currently molding in my a-pillar gauges (boost and EGT) and from the blue pillar, black pod, and pink bondo, I would like to make it all one color, the same as the rest of my gray interior.

Anyone know what color in krylon, primer, etc I am going to need to color match it. I have no issues with going to the paint store and compairing, but if someone has already done this, it'll help. Yeah, so I am lazy...what of it!!!

The spray can lids should be in the final color result. Just take a trim panel with you to a store and you will be able to find the closest match.

I started passing kidney stone #6 on monday, and I am still on the drugs (weeeeeeeeeeeeee) so I was going to send my GF down to get me the paint. Hence the reason I was wondering if anyone knew the brand and color. Cool, though, I should be up and around friday morn, I will head down to the store then.

Take a piece of trip out of the car (there are some small pieces under the dash and on the side of the center console.) take it to a paint shop and ask them to match the colour, (they'll scan the piece for the specific colour.) and they will mix you up a can of spray paint that will match exactly. Trying to match it by eye is hard - and this is a piece that you will have to look at all the time. It will look WAY better, and won't cost more than about $7.

Get a primer that works specifically for plastic too.

Sorry to here about the stone's my dad get those one every year or two. Ouuchh!

My interior is burgandy so I can't help with the color, but I used some primer at Schucks and it came out pretty nice. Since the interior wasn't glossy I used a primer.
