[QUOTE="Richard L, post: 972323, member: 52972"] I don't know if anyone makes a matching paint since the original interior parts are not painted. The color is molded into the plastic and vinyl pieces when they are manufactured. I would suggest that you take a smaller piece of the pillar trim into a store that sells a large selection of automotive paints and do an eye-ball match. A better choice would be some Vinyl paint made for interiors. They are more of a dye, but that might depend upon what the gauge pods are made of? A more expensive route would be to take the part to an automotive paint store that can mix the paint to match with electronic paint matching equipment....but I don't know what they would charge for such a small amount to paint a few gauge pods??? Also, since the pillar trim is a non-glossy finish so you will find most paints are going to be glossy, thus interior vinyl paint might be better or if mixed, it would need some flatening agent so it would not be glossy??? ...Rich [/QUOTE]
