Default Interior Paint

Can you get interior paint in a spray can or in small quantities?

From what I can tell I have 13 interior, 31 lower and 31 upper. What color is 13?


The reason I ask is I have a replacement horn button but it's not painted just primed.

13 for a 1982 looks like silver gray.

A number of vendors have spray cans of interior dye, great for small jobs.

Interior dye is for the cloth parts? I'm painting the horn ring which is metal.

Eastwood has the spray paints as well. I guess I am lucky to have a black interior! The spray paint (dye) that they claim is for seats and carpeting will work just fine on the primer and even bare metal if you choose to do so.

I did some searching for Corvette Central and came up with some bad reviews. Dunno if something has changed with their product but I decided to go with Paint Scratch spray kit.

Corvette America which I believe is now Top Flight has long since been known for there interior Dyes. I just painted all of my interiors small parts including the Steering Colum. About the easiest Paint to spray as can be. I bought a Quart and used my Clear Spray Gun. If I was t do anything different I would of painted the Colum in primer prior just because it would of used less Dye to cover it.
