I took my ashtray into a autoparts store thats sells auto paint they matched the paint perfectly some stores can put the paint into spray cans, the store Icouldn't

Sorry for the screw up . like I was saying the store I went to couldn't put it into a spray can so I went to a hobby shop bought a cheep air brush kit and it worked great hope this helps you out.

I'm going through the same thing right now. Bought the 2 pod unit for the pillar. I ended up going over to a commercial paint store, they do color matching there (took the fuse panel cover) they had a pint for me in about 5 minutes. Took it over to a friend who owns a body shop and he is spraying it for me today and I will have it back tomorrow. The black was real close to the dark interior, but I am a perfectionist and had to have it exact!

I also tried getting the number off the tag in the glove box, but no one seemed to be able to cross the number.

I also asked the paint store if they could stick it in a spray can, but they said the color would not come out correct if I did it that way that I would have better luck brushing it on.

The paint mix was PPG paint, so if it turns out to be a dead on match tomorrow and you want the paint numbers let me know and I will post them. My interior is the "03 Dark Pewter"

Got my pod back today, wow looks great! To the average Joe, they would think it was stock!

Dixon,
Please pass along the part number for the PPG paint. Thanks!

I would like to know if anyone has matched the tan or buckskin color for the Silverado. My pod is close to matching but I'd like it closer.

Well I don't know what numbers they actually use to mix this stuff, but here they all are;

Tinting Guide: DIU37524***H
DMD663 23.9
DMD664 139.5
DMD622 1.2
DMD616 9.9
DX685 81.7
DBX695 10.2

Enjoy!

Thanks for the responses guys. I will head to an auto paint store tomorrow to check it out.

I am paying a shop to paint a lower bumper cover later in the week so I will get them to paint both at the same time.
