Default Need to find matching plastic interior paint

I need to find a color code or a ready to spay product that matches the dark metallic gray that is around the radio.

I've looked here on the forum and I can't find the information that I need.

I've never seen a color formula for something like that. You'll end up having to look for a dark gray exterior color that's close enough. Don't be afraid to look outside of the Toyota line to find it. Ford has done a ton of flat gray cladding / bumper colors over the years. An autobody supply store might let you look at some of their chip books. The store we use can make their own rattle cans for whatever color you want them to mix. It's great for people without a spray gun.

You beat me to posting this question! I also want to know if anyone has found a paint that at least closely matches the radio trim. I got a tiny scratch that I want to try and cover up. I would rather look at it with slightly off gray paint then the white plastic color that it has now.
