Door panel crack I have a 2000 Trans Am, got it with the cracking on both door panels.
Fixed it but sanded it down a bit and need some touch up paint, my interior code is IL2 which would be an ebony color.
What would be the closest paint color to get for a touch up?

Update for door panel or interior paint:
I tested the Colorbond 522 and it is grey not black. Matches the 98-00 Ebony grey interiors perfect BUT if you have the 01-02 Ebony black interior then use SEM Trim Black 39143.

For myself, I attempted to fix the panel but was unsuccessful since the crack was all the way through. Purchased used non-cracked panels which were Ebony grey so needed to figure out how to dye/paint them properly.
I found this article, after the fact, to repair panels with a complete crack:

Another tip that may be of benefit, I removed the staple that is the culprit for the panel cracking with copper wire.
