Default Dash Paint

Can anyone recommend a dash paint that they have used to match the dark charcoal dash of a silverado? I'm putting an apillar gauge pod in my JGP silverado and I need a paint that will match the rest of the dash. The guys at Duracolor and SEM paint arent very helpful, neither of them can reference what "dark charcoal" from chevy looks like. They say I need to go to a distributor and have them match it. I find it hard to believe that there is nothing off the shelf that will match so any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

I took in a fuse panel cover to Napa, and had them custom mix it. They will even put it in a spray-bomb can for you.

I painted my custom single pillar with some cheap stuff and it flaked off, even with good prep. Then I got some SEM slate grey and it wasnt dark enough so I ended up getting Graphite 15303 and that matched good and covered awesome. I used this to paint my double pillar when I upgraded and it looks great. Its worth the little extra it costs for good stuff when your painting plastics.
