Default Center console Paint

I've seen a few threads on here about people repainting their center dash pieces, or trying to match a gauge pod to the same black color. Well modified my center piece to get it ready for a guage pod and blended the adapter kit for an after market stereo into the dash. I used Dupli-color's DE1634 Low Gloss Black, it's a high temp engine paint. This stuff matches really well. I can hardly tell the difference between the upper piece and the lower piece of the dash. It even has close to the same texture. I'll post some pics on here soon so you can see how close they are.

Please do, I'm just bought a gauge pod and was wondering what kind of paint to use.

I used the black bumper paint ... don't recall the MFG ... it looked like a great match for a while, people thought it was a stock piece, 2 years later now it is not as close ... time to repaint it.

Here's the pictures of the center console painted, the upper part that just slides off is still stock it's the front part that has been painted. I smoothed out the aftermarket stereo adapter .
