Default Double din question

I have almost completely finished my double din install. My question is what paint/primer works best to paint match the stock black color?
Thanks guys.

If you're talking about the radio bezel I used this on mine:
SEM 39853 texture coating
SEM 13023 low luster clear
Hope this is what you're looking for.

Thanks
I think I'm going to try plastidipping it millenia yellow to match the exterior and see if I like it and if not I'll take it off
Then when I'm sure I think I'll repaint it
Thank you

Search here more for write-ups on what to get exactly. I used the SEM products listed. You need to do the texture paint then let it dry. Then take some fine sandpaper and carefully go over it to knock the texture down a bit to match the stock interior. Then the black color over that.

Not difficult to make it look stock.
