Default xB interior trim silver paint supplier needed

I was unable to find any information regarding this, everyone seems to want to match their exterior paint when painting interior trim pieces. I am just looking for either a color code or commercially available paint that will match the silver used on the center console and window switch trim panels. I would like to apply it to the speedo bezel, the trim rings on the side air vents, and the door locks. I suppose if I can't match it, I'll just custom color everything. I have black sand pearl, so matching the exterior wouldn't exactly stand out, and I abhor fake wood and chrome, so maybe some flavor of blue to match the lighting, or just another silver.

Have you found the paint yet, because I am looking for that silver also. I may just go and paint everything another silver if I cant find a match.

duplicolor T347 radiant silver is the closest match i can find, i apinted a few things and it looks good and you can get it at your local auto parts store, i used it to paint this, and get the duplicolor clear and spray a few coats and it looks awsome

Thanks low_down_xb, I'll give it a try, I wanted to silver out the speedo bezel, that should do nicely. Nice dash BTW, is that all custom fiberglass?

That's my next project after I get my new speaker boxes glassed. If you can paper mache fiperglass isn't much different, it just takes longer to dry and smells worse. Also, you can't eat the resin

I ended up getting my exterior silver color matched and will be painting the speaker boxes with the automotive two part paint. If I do a stereo mount, I'll do the same thing.

Is that the Alpine 9856? That's what I have.

you can bring it to a shop that has one of those guns that will "look" at the color and perfectly match it.
