Default GM Exterior and Interior Canned Spray Paint

I'm looking to paint my steering wheel spoke caps and emergency brake button the same color as the ashtray and HVAC/radio bezel. Also, I was thinking about painting my FRC and Battery cover Velocity Yellow using pre-mixed spray can paint from http://www.paintscratch.com/ . Has anyone tried it? Also, my interior is, i'm guessing ebony? but the site list two interior colors black and ebony. Any idea which one I need?

Thanks
Scott

I went to an auto paint supply store and had then mix the correct exterior color and put it in an aerosol can. I also purchased aerosol primer and clear coat. Used it to paint my engine covers and it worked fine. Certain they will have the code for what ever paint you need.

I just went to my local Chevy Dealer and picked up a can of exterior paint, they had it on the shelf. I'm not sure if you'll find the interior paint so easy, it might have to be "matched"...can't say that for a fact though, maybe they have that too.

I just painted my intake cover, radiator overflow tank and battery cover. Others on CF suggest using adhesion promoter for plastic, I used Dupli-Color, http://www.duplicolor.com/products/adhesion.html
I also used their filler primer to get a smooth look. Sanded with 220 followed by 400. Several coats of primer sanding with 800 between, followed by paint and several coats of clear.

Thanks, and please do post some pictures and maybe a how-to?

Also, what about the interior color? The link in my first post lets you put your year, model, and make and gives me two interior choices; do any of those match you think?

I did the same thing with my fuel rail covers. I didn't want the gloss look, I prefer a more "flat" finish. Still came out very well.



I need to do the other items I have in mind.

In response to this 9 year old thread you just found ....

You might get a good answer to your question concerning a C7 color if you ask this in the C7 General Discussion forum.

Make sense? ....
