    paint that matches INTERIOR trim...

    SEM OEM Trim paint is better than sliced bread..for exterior trim.

    But I want to know if there is a paint that can match the (dash, vents, door handle, ect...) the interior trim.

    I know it won't match the texture - but I'm looking for a color match of the plastic.

    Haha its funny you mention it. I actually just ripped the bubbled plastic skin off of my ebrake console. I initially painted the bare plastic in trim paint but it looked like ass because it was missing the texture. This ebrake console was toast anyways so I decided to experiment. I bought an 8 dollar can of truck bed liner and sprayed it on in several coats and surprisingly enough the bed liner sprays on great and sticks very well. The texture doesnt exactly match but for 8 bucks I thought it was a neat idea. I had to paint the console with another coat of trim paint because the bed liner was too grayish.

    The end result is a new looking ebrake console that is 8 bucks intead of the 50 for the new one. I'll probably order a new console some time down the road, but for now this is kinda neat.

                I was just going to suggest this, it comes in satin and gloss black, too.

                  What would the stock color be, regular black or gloss black? I would guess regular black even though it does have a little shine to it.

                    I took the bait and got the colorbond product. It is a perfect match of the BMW black.

                      I'm surprised it's not Skid Mark Brown.
