Default My installer used stuff that's as close as I think you can get...

Here's the pics (the photos don't do it justice; could be the angle I took the photos).

Default you just need to sand down the surface and spray several layers of flat black paint..

Default I found that charcoal primer paint is pretty good match, but not good....

if you touch it. It leaves fingerprints. I used it to match the plastic behind my LCD screen to the dash. You can't really touch that plastic so it's not an issue for me.

See my post before for the exact paint...<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/audio/msgs/16278.phtml">https://forums.audiworld.com/audio/msgs/16278.phtml</a</li></ul>
