Help! Paint that matches the interior!!!

Hey all...i just had a double-din installed and the guy made a custom face plate for it..sorry i dont have any pics of it...but he made it glossy to match the radio and i told him i want it the dull finish so that it matches the rest of the interior (like the cd holder and ac unit)...can u give me any suggestions as to what paint to use to make it match so that i can tell him?? thanks!

I think I have found a paint that matches it dead on...

I bought WURTH saBESTO SATIN BLACK TRIM PAINT to repaint my b-pillars that were chipped - You can look for it online, its about 8.99 a can. I am about to install an aftermarket radio in the TL I recently bought and I had been searching these threads for a color match. I noticed the finish of the trim paint I just sprayed on the b-pillars looked really close to the dash color... I took my storage tray out of the car and held it up next to the b-pillar and the overall color is almost DEAD-ON. If you look up close on both you can see the same metallic-fleck sheen in the paint.

I am going to pick up the Scosche kit, sand it and spray it with this Wurth trim paint and see what the result looks like. I'll post a pic when I get it done.
