Default Rocker panel color?

What is the correct black color code for rocker panels on my 1982 corvette, non CE?

Dont know of a proper color code for the panels but I used flat black trim paint and it was a near perfect match on mine. Found in most auto part stores.

Dupli-color also makes a trim paint that seems to be dead on. I even used it to refinish the metal ashtray door in my car. It blends in perfect with the new shifter plate.
I was going to do my rocker panels with trim paint, but decided to wait and have them powdercoated this fall.

At this point I'm having them cleaned up, then primed and painted with GM Trim Black. I like the idea of having them powder coated though. Skap Vette
