Interior paint

Has anyone used an interior paint that matched the Evo OEM dash color? I have a gauge cluster that I'd like to pain to match the dash. I've tried a number of black and grays I picked up at autozone, but they are not even close to matching. Anyone found a good match?

I redid my radio trim panel to fit my gauges. I used Dupli.Color paint # DSGM 347 medium gray. it matches very well just be sure to sand the panel down with some 400 grit sand paper first and clean well and dry before painting.. good luck

I am looking to paint some of the trim in the car the same color as the car and I would rather do it myself. So I am in the same boat as you. I don't want to screw it up and have it look horrible. This is something I will take my time with. use alot of differnt grades of sandpaper to make it as possible. As for the color it should be written on the door jam, I think.

I spent 3 days on removing the fake carbon fiber dash kit that my car had. And then I repainted alot of my pieces Flat black with Dupli Color Fabric and Plastic paint. For that "Stealth Look". Oh and I did change the back lighting color of my A/C controls to a red/amber look. Well, it was worth it, but I'm not totally finish yet.

i used a "gunmetal" color from autozone to paint some of the interior of my car, it matches the OZ silver dash pretty nice. I also just painted the radio surround, but i don't got pics of that yet, its pretty simple to do though
