Thumbs up Matched interior color spray paint for Metra Kit

I just got a can of spray paint from ACE hardware and try on a old metra kit for a GMC from a buddy of mine, it turns out perfect match for our interior, maybe not perfect but at least 95% match. The best thing is only cost me $1.85 for a can of spray paint. I am going to post some pics this weekend and the part number for the paint.

I'd like to see more about this. The original color match of the Metra kit sucks.

So what color is the paint?

The only thing I might try is to lightly buff the kit with some 0000 grade steel wool to knock the shine off the kit. It looks a little shinier than the dash.

Great job.
