Default gauage pod paint

Does anyone know where i can find a good paint to match my factory interior. It's a 2012 gmc sierra i have ordered a can of the light cashmere and that was not a good match. My factory pillar is a tan-ish color but cant seem to find a good match

Look for the paint code for your truck. I tried a few different brands to match my interior and ended up with OER brand paint. It matched the best with a coat of primer. My interior is charcoal grey though, so its probably hit or miss.

I just took an interior piece in the store and tried several different colors until I found one that matched. It was not exact, but once the pillar pod was installed it looked great with the light and shadows inside the truck.

I used the SEM classic coat line. Summit sells it.

Look hear and match your color code on the chart http://www.semproducts.com/manage/ht...r_card_web.pdf

For 69I / 69D interior, I used the following.

The interior color code should be on the RPO tag in the Glove Box. Its usually next to the paint code.

I always take a trim piece into the local paint shop. They match it, mix the paint, and put it in a rattle can for me. Perfect match for about $18.

I think I'm going to try this! Maybe a Sherman Williams or home Depot or lowes?
