Default Pillar Paint

Where is the best place to purchase paint for a pillar gauge pod? I just purchased a single gauge pod and boost gauge, and need to match the pod to my intererior (the pod only comes in gray). I assume it's best to spray it?

I thought pods only come in black.

There's a new Rustoleum paint for plastics out, give that a try.

Had the same question about painting the pillar to match a CE. Anyone found paint to match?

Here is another site that sells Pods.. http://www.rpmoutlet.com/propods.htm#b What about taking a sample of your interior to one of those places that color match things by computer and have them put it in a spray can for you??

SEM is the product to use for plastic paint. It can be bought in a rattle can or to be shot out of a gun. It can also be custom mixed. SEM also makes plastic specific prep products. I have used alot of their products and never had a problem. Your local autobody supply shop proably carries it.

Go to your local autobody supply shop. I'm sure they can fix you up with what you will need.
