Default Interior paint color

Just installed my autometer pillar pod, but can't find paint that matches perfectly yet. The best automotive paint place in town can't match it. Called the dealership and they call it titanium, even though it really doesn't look titanium at all. Is there a site that anyone goes to for interior paint?

I was looking around some and ended up just sanding their texture off and painting it with wrinkle finish black paint. same i used when i made my tweeter pods. although it didnt wrinkle as much as those did. i really wasnt happy with the look of the piece as it came from them

Call a place called diesel manor. They sell complete gauge kits/pods, and duplicolor factory match interior paint.

Im sure they have your color. I bought my dual pod holder, gauges and paint for my Dmax from them. Perfect match ( grey) .

Look into SEM paint, they have alot of colors for interior paint. Used them before and their colors are really really close.
