Has anyone tried painting their dash kit to match the color of the dash?

I'm going to purchase the Metra 99-7604 dash kit, but from the pics I've seen at webstores and here, it is kind of a dark grey/charcoal color and my interior is black and I want it to match and not stickout like a sore thumb.

I was going to get the kit from Riverside, but since the JDM kit doesn't have the dual climate button and is $100 more, I just don't think it's worth it. I wish the metra kit had plastic buttons that looked a little more OEM, but I can learn to live with that part.

I bought the JDM Kit. It's good, and you can make that Dual Climate button works.

Painting the dash will cost you about same (of the difference) if professionally done.

 

do you have a diy on how to make the dual climate work? i read that soldering is involved...can you post it up?

 

here's a thread on color matching https://g35driver.com/forums/showthread.php?t=114902

 

thanks...i've got a black interior tho. I may just start trying a few different things and see if it's close.
