Lt grey interior paint

rose0529 · 02-10-2008

Anyone know where I can get interior paint to match the grey color of my a-pillar? I have an autometer boost gauge pod that I want to paint to match. I checked Checker and Napa around me and they didnt have any... thanks!

I went to walmart to find mine it was a cheap 1.00 can of light primer grey that matched really well

If you can, pull off a piece that is the same color you want to match, then go to wal-mart, checker, napa, o'riely's, ect. and try to match it to the cap. That should get you pretty close.

Will primer hold up?... or do I need to get interior plastic paint? I went to checker and napa and they didn't have any interior plastic paint that matched, I brought the caps out to my car... I forgot to check walmart though... thanks!

Walmart actually has a very nice paint and automotive dept, I'm pretty sure I've seen the stuff you're looking for there.

As long as you clean it really well and scuff it with a red scotch brite pad it should hold up just fine.

that is all I did to mine red pad and light coats of the cheap bomb can primer grey

Well we will see how it turns out, I just sprayed it with grey primer I had around. I went to Wal-mart to see if I could find some maybe better matching paint and it must be the worst wal-mart ever... they didn't have a paint section at all really... all the other ones I've been to had a good section like Kracka suggested... oh well. Thanks for the help.. I'll post up when I get it all install of how it looks!

Walmart sells Krylon paint. Here you can view a color chart. Krylon paint is the best for plastic surfaces.

I actually used regular automotive paint on mine. For the final couple of coats use a very light mist and it will give it a matte finish (let it dry between coats). It matched great.

I tried the primer... it is to light and bluish....

What wal-mart around here has the best paint selection the maple grove one sucks!

I'll have to check out krylon's colors....thanks

The one in Blaine, right off of Hwy 35W and Lexington has a vast array of collors for your choosing!

I think the Blaine Walmart sucks. The Fridley one on Uni is much better.

I's been a couple years since I've been to the Fridley Wal Mart, but the last time I was there they didn't have much at all for a paint selection.

I got mine in anoka when I did mine.
