[OAC_Sparky]

It was suggested that I post this, hopefully it'll be of help.

I put a dual pod in my ST, wanted to match the paint as closely as I could to the stock interior colour.

After doing some research at FF and FJ, I was reading that the DupliColor was close, but a little shiny; after visiting about 3 or 4 shops in Hamilton, I was pointed to the NAPA/CMax store in Stoney Creek.

To find the closest near you go here:

Make sure you look for the CMax Body and Paint ones to the right.

These stores have all the proper codes to mix interior paint that matches nearly perfect, for nearly any late model vehicle. They have colour-match books so that you can take in a trim piece (ie. I took in the visor clip) to confirm the colour match.

It takes them 10 minutes or so for them to make up a spray bomb. It's not cheap, about $25 for a can -- but worth it IMO. Nothing like spending over $250 for a pod and gauges only to look like a hack job.






Remember -- Thin coats, do the next coat before the last completely dries. I put about 5 coats on, holds up pretty good.:)
