Center console trim gray, what is the paint code?

That's why this community works—nothing but good input from everyone to arrive at the solution. Kudos to all.

So for those tuning in late:

1985-88 interior panels are Raven in color (non-Sand Beige interiors).

Mix codes:
PPG - 9520
DuPont - D8501

If we get other aftermarket solutions we'll post that info here. I'mma make this thread sticky also.

I'm going to pick up the paint tomorrow and I'll try and spray it in the next week or so. That way we'll have double confirmation.

Has there been any luck with finding a matching color from off-the-shelf paints?

Finding a paint shop willing to help and that will fit my schedule is not proving to be easy.
It's Gumby's fault.

I haven't found one yet.

But yeah most paint shops here are M-F 9-5. Not really convenient for me either, as I work during those hours. Unfortunately they are the only option so far.

Guy over at the NATO board (vegas_ss) used LMR spray paint in black for a Fox Mustang (code FV7) and says it matches perfectly.

Looks pretty close. I think it's worth trying if someone wants to verify.
