paint the matches the pillar color?

Bought a pillar gauge pod that replaces the drivers pillar. Anybody know of a good plastic spray paint that is going to match the oem pillar color as close as possible?

Great idea. Wrapping a pillar with 3 round holes and curved gauge pods in it. I'm sure that would turn out to be a spectacular mess.

Hmm, got my pillar today. They said it was gray abs molded plastic. It looks very gray on their website. Now that I have it I would say it is not really what i would call gray. It is however a PERFECT color match to the stock pillar. No painting required. Sweet.

Got it here:
