My dealer body shop painted mine and matched it perfectly, for like $40.00

Probably pewter. IIRC, GM's charcoal looks kinda black.

I agree with most. The pewter should be the color out the two options you were given. Good luck.

Mine is the light or medium or whatever not dark colored gray. I used pewter and it matched very well. I think I used VHT brand paint.

here ya go Tim, i had to go find it in the garage... If i had enough left I'd just send you the rest but I don't.
Do a FEW passes, don't just glob it on because it'll show through on the texture and look crappy.
Hope this helps Tim!

Not a problem Tim, Glad i still had the can!
I know what you mean about the parts catalogues, heck look at the can lid...it says dark pewter and I would NOT call my interior or that cap DARK. :D
