Default Interior Color Coat Refinish

Hi guys

I'm looking for a Color Coat Refinish Spray for the metallic gray interior parts e.g. the Center Gauge/Radio Plate Bezel on my 90 Corvette.

Do you have an idea where to get such a Color Spray?

Both MAM and Eckler's have interior refinishing sprays.

Thanks for the answer.
Well, I have already asked for MAN, unfortunately they have nothing at the moment, that was the answer:

Hello
We had offered the metallic gray color coat up until recently, but we no longer have a source for this and cannot supply it at this time. I do not know if or when this might become available again.
I am sorry we are not able to provide this for you. Let me know if you have any additional questions or need anything else.
Unfortunately, I have not found anyone yet who has the refinishing spray.
I've also asked Ecklers now - let's see what they answer.

I used the MidAmerica (MAM) on the center console and the ashtray/cup holder lid and it was a perfect match.

Thanks for the tip.
But I'm looking for paint/color coat refinish spray to repair the metallic gray interior parts such as center console, dashboard and doors etc.

Seems to be difficult to find something like that

I found and used Dupli-color BGM0522 Storm Gray Metallic. It is real close. I then put a matt clear coat over it to dull it to match the vents etc.

One of the best products I ever ran across was a Corvette America spray "dye" (They call it a dye?) and it saved all my hard plastic interior parts from 1985.

It wears well and looks perfect.. I got mine at Keen's, but it says Corvette America right on it.

I wouldn't bother with anything else now.

@cshuman
Thanks for the tip.
That sounds very good, that would be a fine alternative.

@confab
Thank you too.
I have saddle Interior on my 90 Corvette but the Center Gauge/Radio Plate Bezel is just metallic gray.
I requested there which color fits for the Center Gauge/Radio Plate Bezel.
Or do you know what color would fit?

I am unfamiliar with the various color designations in 90, but on my 85 I just chose the red for my year and it matched perfectly..

Totally saved the rocker sills, which are a really high wear area.

I got an answer from corvetteamerica, they mean the 1990-1991 Dye Gray #431981 is the best match.

I think I'll order such a spray and see if that's the case. Otherwise I can still try it on the Dupli-Color BGM0522.

I've had good luck with SEM interior paint. The key is prep!
