Double Din Mod

Has anyone modded the bezel for a double din on a tan interior (04 lemans ext, tan interior). Looking to find out what compound you used and paint to match the current color.
Thanks

I believe C5 KIDD makes what you are looking for, here is a link to his online catalog. http://www.shop.ti-motorsports.com/p...&categoryId=36

Are you saying the console is tan? My car has tan interior and I have done a double din mod on it, but the console is/was still black.

Was that the commemorative edition? If I am reading this right then the same would apply to the 50th anniversary cars. I think GM called the interior Shale, they may have some dye.

SEM makes interior dyes. You can take your part into a paint and body supply shop to have them mix it up. PPG has an interior dye system as well. I recommend you use Bulldog adhesion promoter and clean your plastic well to prevent fisheye and other adverse chemical reactions prior to applying the color coat. I would also recommend you clear it when you're done. There is a satin clear available if you desire. There may also be an interior color code they can use to match your paint.
