Icon3 Paint/Dye Civic Interior (What to Use?)

So basically I have a 1995 Civic CX with black interior and I just recently bought an armrest from a junkyard. The only problem is the armrest is gray in color and I need it to match. I've seen people on here use some sort of interior paint or dye to match pieces like this. What I'm trying to get at is what do people use and where can I find it? Thanks.

Normally I advise people not to go the rattle-can route when doing their interiors, but for something like an armrest, it's probably fine. SEM Laundau Black. You'll want to put an adhesive promotion spray on it before you spray the SEM on so it doesn't chip off easily.

I have to agree - I used SEM in my Del Sol when I redid some trim from gray to black. I would also use a plastic prep/cleaner to make sure that you get a good coat.
