Default Does anyone know a good brand/code for Aluma-Look Paint?

I am looking to change a a black ashtray delete option for my center console to Aluma-look. Can anyone recommend a brand of paint and the color/code that will best match the OEM Aluma-look trim? Thanks.

Did you ever find any good alumalook paint for interior trim parts?

I used Dupli Color Perfect Match (from AutoZone). Color was BGM0340 Silver Metallic. There were a dozen different silver varieties but this turned out fine.

Good luck.

Hmmm. More options. Do you have pics comparing your painted parts to factory alumalook parts? Thanks.

I don't have a close up but will try and take one later today/tomorrow. I used it on my ashtray delete and the color was really good and the amount of metallic in the paint was very close as well. I am really happy that after a year, the paint has held up great considering the location of the ashtray delete. I did put several coats of clear poly on as well.
