Full Version: Raven colored interior paint?

I'm in the process of tidying up the interior. I need to paint the center console piece where the ashtray sits. Does anyone know where and if I can locate some Raven colored paint in a spray can?
There was some other posts where people mentioned they had used interior paint but I can't seem to find them. Take a look at this one:

Raven is really just black. For the console just use some matte or flat black. The interior paint PeteD refers to above is good for cloth and flexible plastic such as dash pads or vinyl seats and is available at NAPA and other stores under the brand names VHT or Color Bond but for the top of the console I'd use regular paint.
The post that Pete refers to was from me a few years back. I ended up swapping out the interior for a raven cloth set. Then I used the black (raven) dye on it. It worked out great. Here's the link where I tell about it. I talk about pics in the link, but they don't show up anymore. I'll see if I can find them and post them again.

Dupli-Color is an interior paint that is designed for either fabric or vinyl and it works very well. I found that, however, it's not permanent on the velour seats because the fibers on the velour fabric aren't porous and the paint won't penetrate. It's all right on a seat that isn't used very much. Anyway you can get the DupliColor at WalMart or just about any parts store. I think some of the NATO guys have used it.
Thanks for all the replys! I looked around and came up with something fairly close. Krylon Semi-Flat Black. It's not the perfect color match but very passable. I'll be posting pics of my gauge install in a couple of days. Ya'll can get a peek at it then.
