Steering wheel gauge pod

I've got the steering wheel gauge pod from Geno's to mount my boost and EGT gauges in. I'd like for this pod to match the dash as close as possible. The color of the steering column is Medium Slate. I've tried Geno's as well as the dodgeparts site and can't find a spray paint for this color. Does anyone know if this color is available from Mopar or from any other place?

For those who have steering column gauges what color did you paint them?

Thanks.

I painted mine to match like ****** said and he's sat in the truck to look at it.. I don't remember where I got the paint but I will go find the can.. I ended up using two paints and combined them.. You can get it custom matched at any ppg or paint supply store. I did mine on a sunday so no-one was open..

not cheap stuff
*note* they do have the paint code listed so you may take that to your local paint supply store and get it without paying for shipping.

Thanks for your help. However the color I'm actually wanting to use is for the lower dash so that the steering column mount will match the steering column. I have been able to find the TL2 paint though.

Referencing some pictures in Luvinacumns' gallery; the TL2 paint looks good so if I can't find the medium slate paint I'll go for that.

Thanks again for your help!
