Might check the dealer. I used some interior spray paint to replace some broken parts on a console years ago. Very skeptical, but it came out great. That was 1990, I'm sure it has gotten better.

Several years back I needed to paint some door panels on my truck,I tried every color I could find in a spray can and nothing was close.I went to a paint store that sold car paint and I took one of the old panels to them and they matched it and mixed a quart for me.They had a small sprayer that had a replaceable aerosol top that fastened to a small glass gar and you could spray the mixed paint.This was a perfect match for my door panels and I probably only spent $30 dollars for the paint and sprayer.
