IT looks like VHT is not making paint for guage pods anymore, or no one carries it. I need to paint my pod for an 06 GMC which has the pewter interior color. Any suggestions or vendors with a few cans left laying around, I'd be happy to buy it. Alternatives are welcome as well. Thanks

Believe it or not I went to Wal Mart and saw it in the automotive aisle in the clearance area red stickered for $2. I had a piece of my interior with me in my jacket, saw the paint, sprayed it on the shelf like everyone else does and put my interior panel up to it and bingo. That was it. I bought some primer as well too. It wasn't VHT tho, I believe Plasticolor or Plasticote.

Here is a picture of the cans I bought today over at Pep Boys. I had to paint a buddy's pillar since he saw mine. These are a perfect match to the pillar and the dash.
Dupli Color DSCC402 Driftwood Satin and 8800564 Dark Gray (M) CC

An update on the gauge pod paint. Instead of the Driftwood Satin, Rustoleum has a Sandstone textured paint. I resprayed my pod and it looks great.
