Interior grey plastic

I have an idea for a part I wanted to make, but it would involve finding a Vinyl wrap that would match the C7 grey interior plastic (Console, Dash, Paddles, Etc., Etc.) I have ordered quite a few Matte Blacks and Dark Greys, just cannot find a match. I am just fishing for anyone that has tried a similar quest.. Thanks

Are you looking for vinyl "wrap" or a vinyl "fabric." Sorry, I didn't understand for sure. If the second, and when normalcy ever returns to our society, I suggest you take a color sample and go to any upholsters in your area. If reasonably large ones, they should have what I've found to be amazing varieties of colors and textures. In any event, all the best.

There isn’t any gray plastic in the interior. It’s actual aluminum.

Okay then, let me repeat... "C7 grey interior plastic (Console, Dash, Paddles, Etc., Etc.)" Using your interior, let me illustrate.There is a ton of Grey molded/painted plastic; I own a 3LZ and I have grey plastic in my interior..

I tried a few samples of wrap, I don't think there is one that will match, unless someone tried something successful..

That is not gray plastic, it is actually a dark charcoal almost black. So what parts are you trying to make that color?

Some dash parts, I think painting is the closest I can get.. just a project for a friend.. trying to figure the easiest way, vinyl would have been good.. but matching it not going to be possible...

JMO, but painting the parts would look awesome. Post up pics if your friend decides to go that route.

Revising this thread as I'm curious... @Gixxerman did you ever find a paint that would match? How did it turn out? I'm thinking of painting the lower trim piece on my steering wheel from that lighter gray to match the dark console/dash plastics.
