Default gauge mounting solutions pics please

Im looking for a way to mount 3 2 1/16" gauges in my 2012 Silverado. but I want it to look factory. The piller ones are black and my pillers are Cream. I like this but do not know if the grain or color will match. Auto Meter Im thinking something custom. any one have pics of there gauges to show me? thanks

Why not just have the pillar painted to match? A good painter should be able to get it close

Autometer dual gauge with the speaker hole.

Took about 3 different cans of spray paint till I found one that matched as close as that does. Still need to touch up a couple small parts of it but you can't tell unless you look for it

I found this the other day when I was looking on a diesel forum. I figured those guys would know how to paint it if anyone did.

I don't know how I feel about spending $18 for a can of spray paint though.
