Gauge pod paint?

Anyone know where I can buy the correct color interior paint to match my 2000 F250 light grey interior?
I have the 3 gauge pod for the A pillar, and also the 2 gauge pod that covers the stock gauge cluster. Should that be a different color grey (darker) to match the factory gauge cluster cover?

Thanks in advance!

I went to NAPA and they made me up a can of paint from my door jam paint code. I put it into an airbrush and spray painted it on. It's a formulation specifically for interiors. I think I paid 12 bucks for a pint. See my pics for a looksee. It's a perfect match.

I found the light grey at wal-mart in the auto touch up section and it is made by Duplicolor. Used the same can on my brothers 96 F250 and Father inlaws 99.5 F350. Clean the pod real good with soap and water and don't get in a hurry between 2 or 3 light coats. As for the darker grey I didn't notice if they had it in stock.

I forgot to add - If you don't have an airbrush, they have a spray container they can set you up with. Not sure how much it costs, but it's infinately reuseable with replacement aerosol cartridges.

My 99 also has the grey interior. When I did my pods I bought the Ford Motorcraft Interior sprypaint. It worked very well, looks factory for sure.
You also need the plastic primer for a good job.

The part # for the Medium Graphite is 4245H.

Use the paint code from the sticker in your front door to be sure of a good match.
