Has anyone ever found a place that sells the Agate interior color of spray paint?
I found this: https://www.paintscratch.com/touch_u...or-AZ-LAZ.html
But 1 can is $30 and I might need 2 and the clear coat is $20. So that's like $80+ just to paint a gauge pod.
Are there any normally priced spray paints you have found that match this Agate color well?

This guy bloodlemons was trying to source some manual door panels. He wanted Agate but ended up with Mist Gray.Originally Posted by .:.

Nice. I saw that, but I thought it was the wrong color because of the cap they have pictured. I am going to order a can right now and see if it's right. Thank you.Originally Posted by Ralph77

Edit: What do you think I should do as far as prep? Adhesion promoter? Clear coat? It's a GlowShift gauge pod.

I can't imagine why you would need 2. You should be able to do two coats with one can, and have some left over. How big is the pod?

Any clear coat should do. Pick that up at the hardware store for around 8 bucks.Originally Posted by .:.
and the clear coat is $20.

But why does it need to match? Why not pick a complementary color?

Not a clue. I was really hoping that guy would report back cause I have a project that this might work for.Originally Posted by .:.

I want to change the inset in the lower door panel, it is missing the fake woodgrain strip, to agate to match the panel on the door.
So if you go through with this can you report back on how and what you thought about it?

One will likely do the trick, but I wanted to make absolutely sure I can do 2 coats and have a little left over if I ever needed some again. Also, I'm really OCD, haha. It's just a 3 pod gauge cluster. It's about 2 feet long. I guess it doesn't NEED to match. Black would work fine, but I just personally think it would look cooler if it all had a "stock" look to it. I've never been a big fan of custom interiors with non-stock colors or multiple colors beyond stock. Yeah, you're right about the market. Good point. I didn't think of that.Originally Posted by BlueRidgeMark

Okay, will do. Probably will be doing this on Saturday when the can of paint arrives. Feel free to shoot me a private message Saturday morning to remind me to take photos. Originally Posted by Ralph77

Kind of what I was thinking. Thanks for the confirmation. Depending on how it looks I might leave it as is or maybe use a matte clear to try to get it closer to stock. Gotta see how the 2 coats works out first.Originally Posted by BlueRidgeMark

I am converting my interior from bluejean/mist grey to black/agate and painting the plastics was suggested to me instead of hunting used interior bits off of ebay or in junk yards. I would really appreciate your opinions and results. Thanks for posting this.
