Sorry to bump this up, but Dave how did your color matching go?
The colors I referenced above ended up being a little off from OEM. The installer decided to go with all black and painted the AC control bezel (not the buttons) and ashtray black as well.



If I could go back and do it again, I'd have had him paint the AC bezel, the radio surround and the ashtray all with the same 'close' color match I found 39273 Charcoal Metallic. As long as those three that are lined up together matched I don't think you could tell that it was slightly different from some other areas of the car in gray.

The black looks good, but doesn't tie in like the OEM color would (or the very near OEM color).
