    redoing console

    So, i got the whole console out of a se-i at the junkyard (armrest + cupholders) but i am having some trouble finding plastic spray paint that matches my "burgandy" interior. so, what im wondering is what have you guys used, becasue i want it to match as good as possable.

    thanks

    I have the same problem, i found the closest match possible at the local auto store. As far as i know you wont find a perfect match.
