Default Color Matching Center Console

After searching high and low a few years back i finally tracked down a new optional center console. It's for a 91 civic so you all know that it was discontinued a while ago and back then ebay wasn't very big yet. Long story short, the console is a grayish blue and my interior's stock black, I've already rattle canned it a couple times with a vinyl paint and it onlyl lasts a few months on average. Is there a better product or process? I've done a search but most people were using a clearcoat and I wanted to make it match as much as i can. Any suggestions? Thanks everyone.

Hey what's up Brett? There's an custom interior shop down in El Cajon right next to Western Sports Cars, not sure of the name, but it's right next door. They dyed my friends gray SiR center console black, and it matched his interior perfect. They can do any color, it's pretty cheap, check em out if you're in the area. If you can't find it, have Tommy call Nerd, they did some work for him a few times. lata

use "Trim Black" SEM 39143 I used it on my center consol. Looks great. I have one had it on there for 3 weeks, but no problems yet. the trick is a couple very light coats. It comes out great. I'll take pics later.
