Painted center console
 

I think I am going to paint my center console as a winter project. I would like to match my exterior color, seal gray. Where can I find this paint match? I would prefer it to come in a spray can as I don't have an air gun.

I am going to do the same color when my new ebrake comes in. Since I have black, a critical match is not important, but krylon fusion makes a dark gray that is close to seal gray. It is a metallic paint, so it has some depth to it. Check out the color at a local hobby/craft shop (local auto parts stores, lowes, and home depot did not have the dark gray)

I painted the insert on my stock shifter with it because some of the original paint was worn off, I was very pleased and after a few coats of clearcoat, it seems to be very durable.

I hear there is a place online that will match your paint code with spray cans, but you will need to use a good primer for plastics before you apply automotive paint on it.

Try expresspaint.com
You can buy their paint in spray cans. You don't even have to know your paint code- just enter make, model and year of your car. I painted my console with their paint and thought the paint was a good match.
Surface prep is key.
Hope your console turns out nice.

Regards,
mike

Also, you would probably get more paint if you buy a pint, and paint it on.

I have a couple of air guns that came with various pneumatic kits through the years.. Which one is used for painting oil automotive paints, and does it matter if you use a cheapo?

I have a detail airbrush and a LPHV, With the LPHV, I have it hooked up to a moisture canister to trap moisture, and have used it on farm-type equiment where prep is a non-issue. I do not know what kind of results it would yield on porsche parts.

It shouldn't matter if it is cheap spray gun, as long it paints evenly, and you don't get any drips. But I would research spraying first, you might have to thin out the paint, so it sprays properly.
