They are dark gray not ebony. I had the same problem when i bought a used replacement center console in ebony because in the picture it looked gray. Not that it is installed it definitly is a different color. I just cant find paint that will match the dark gray interior. I am surprised that they dont come in gray or atleast try to match the OEM paint.
that would be the best way to match imo. just make sure you take the time and do good prep work. my only other thought is is make sure you match the level of gloss the rest of the trim you have if your picky.

I painted mine with an interior specific plastic and vinyl paint and it looks just like the rest of the trim (dark grey). I can grab the paint code and brand when I get home. The only bad part is its $20 shipped. So if you can find it in local stores that would be your best bet.

$20 bucks is not too bad as along as it matches. Can you post the paint code and the website that you got it off of? I have been every where around here looking for something to match. Napa, autozone, Advanced, I even checked walmart to see what they had and nothing. If i cant get paint to match then i probably wont end up doing a pod because it will look bad. Thanks for the help.

I had to look up an old thread of mine where I asked the same question. This was the exact stuff I bought for dark grey.

I had to look up an old thread of mine where I asked the same question. This was the exact stuff I bought for dark grey.
The product in this URL is an exact match to the Ebony colored interior? If so, I've been looking for this for about 2 years!!
Please let it be true!!

No, this is not Ebony. This is Graphite... or the darker gray that Fbodys came with. If you know the SEM color code for Ebony you should be able to find what you are looking for by this manufacturer... as you can tell by the scroll menu on the link, they sell a lot of different colored interior paint this manufacturer sells.

found it yours is 52I : INTERIOR TRIM, LT NEUTRAL (I) (92). I am not at my car at the moment but if i remember correctly i think mine is 14I : INTERIOR TRIM, LT GRAY (I) (92). do you think this would work? graphite is listed there and it seemed to match for your LT Neutral?
