Oyster interior resto
Has anyone found a decent colour match to a plastic paint for their Oyster interior? Mine has discoloured slightly and I want to paint them (done it with other project, great look and lasts) but can't find anything remotely close to the greyish tinge the Oyster white has.

Oyster
It does look quite white compared to the unpainted portion of your wheel, but, like you said, all flash. I'll see if I can get that stuff up here in the Great White North and give it a shot, Thanks!!!

My car is also Oyster, I painted a lot of my interior parts (plastic seat parts, kick panels, etc) with Dupli-Color spray paint called "Creme", paint code FM160 that I got at Canadian Tire. You may want to give that a try, at least you know you can get it in Canada. The color was a pretty good match (it's MUCH lighter than it looks on the "cap"), it is white with the grayish tinge you want.
In the pic below the seat-bottom is done with that stuff.
