I used factory touch up paint by the can! 'bout $10 a can from Chevy. The clear gloss was just clear from the hardware store. Oh, and the adhesion promoter was $6 from the autoparts house.
Others have used off the shelf paints and have gotten near exact paint match. For the life of me I don't recall which memebrs or the brand of paint(s) they used.

Got my window switch shroud done ...planning on getting to the waterfall tomorrow. Using Duplicolor + Adhesion Promoter + a clear top coat. It's a little brighter than i wanted but it still looks good.

Unfortunately i don't own a digital camera (i know...I'm behind the times! ). Maybe i can get one of my friends to take some for me,but i'm not making any promises. Got the waterfall done today and changed my oil (Mobil 1). Just about used up all my swear words for the day getting it done, but she's done for now. I'll do my best to get some pics taken.

Looks good! But what is the solution to keep the sheen from being so shiny?

You asked what I was thinking. I'm not a big fan of 'shiny' inside the car.

when I did mine I had the paint shop mix some flatener into the paint... but if you dont want to go thru that, you can get a can of flat clear to spray over it instead of gloss clear.
