Colormatching the Radio Console for aftermarket dashkits?

Does anyone know what is a good paint match for the radio console trim? I'm going to replace the deck and every dashkit I see is black
I think it'll look rather tacky if I leave the new kit black seeing as my deck itself is silver. Thanks in advance

I believe the stock SS dash trim is silver. Hit up crateenginedepot.com and see if you can order it.

I dont know if this will help, but I scratched my dash piece once and used a silver sharpie and it was a really good match. I dono if it will help with this, but just wanted to throw it out there.

I used a Krylon Fusion paint on my front bowtie. Than I put itim my car to see how it matched and it was close, let me know if you want me to take the bowtie off or paint something and take a picture of it next to the dash.

well the thing is the black dash kit material is different from the stock silver dash pieces so even repainting everything the dash kit doesnt flow 100%... you can tell the color is "the same" but it doesnt look right
