Hello! I'm getting ready to do a double din swap on my 2002 Avalanche, and the bezel I picked up doesn't match the interior color of the truck, so I'm looking to paint it to match. The interior color, according to the RPO code 12I, is Graphite. Unfortunately, I've searched both Google and here, and I can't seem to find any GM specific Graphite interior paints. Do any of you guys have any suggestions of what brand and color of (preferably) spray paint is the closest?

Does anyone have experience with this?

From the picture they give there, it looks pretty darn close, but it's hard to tell from just a picture, and I'd rather not spend 15 bucks just to find out it's completely off.  (n)

So if you guys have any suggestions, that would be awesome! Thanks.

Hey, thanks for the link! I found that while searching, but it says it matches Ford OEM interiors, so I was unsure. I'm assuming you've used this and the match was satisfactory?
 
Never used it, but it's probably as close as your going to get.. If it's a little off you will never notice it, mine is slightly different and you can't tell that it didn't come that way (see pic)

Look at car restoration web sites for interior paints. Probably the only place you may find anything close..

I have tried using plastidip to do an interior color change of another one of my vehicles before, and I would not recommend it. When it gets hot it becomes super tacky, so touching anything you've coated it with isn't a pleasant experience.

To be fair, it looked pretty okay.

I went ahead and ordered the SEM product I linked in the OP. The picture looks so close that I decided I'm willing to give it a chance. I'll be sure to let you guys know how it turns out.
