matching interior graphite plastic color

I've used the search button extensively, but for the life of me I can't seem to find a thread that, somewhere in its confines, holds the answer to my question. Would any of you happen to know of a good means of matching the stock graphite color of the interior plastic. I'm planning on fiberglassing a set of gauges down in the driver side footwell onto that plastic center console guard very similar to these:






Just wondering if anyone knows of a solid means of getting the stock looking color/texture, or if any old threads come to mind that you can point me in the direction of.

Much appreciation in advance!

well, pretty sure it wouldn't exactly match the stock plastic, but you can try using plastic paints that most people do their reservoir tanks in...it has a slight texture and looks like a stock piece...here are a couple pics of my tanks for reference

Nice, thanks man, thats a much closer match than what I had in mind. I was going to use a spray on truck bed liner to get the textured look, but truck liner may be a bit too textured. I'll have to go pick up a can of that stuff and spray a couple trial sheets of plastic to see how it turns out. Looks good from the pictures. Thanks again
