Interior trim piece paint / dye question

[E-Man]

Has anybody successfully painted or dyed any interior trim pieces to the point where it looks factory? I just received my Isspro gauge pod kit and plan to do the install next weekend. My interior is tan, but the pod only comes in black. Ive read about a lot of unsuccessful attempts to match the factory colors, and I'm contemplating just leaving the pod black. I already have a black steering wheel cover and black seat covers, so I think it would blend in with the interior well even if I keep it black. Any opinions?

I used Dupli-Color vinyl & fabric paint I picked up at autozone or advanced auto. I was able to match my grey interior perfectly.

I had my pillar pod dyed and its perfect. While the guy was there, he also dyed the tops of my door panels and blended it in to where the plastic had not faded. Again, perfect.

I had my local auto body supply shop mix me up some SEM interior paint for mine, it was a perfect match.

The SEM is top notch stuff.

I ordered the color-matched dash paint from Ken's Performance when I ordered my Isspro gauges, and it is a perfect match. I wiped the gauge pod down with degreaser (for painting), then tacked it off with a tack cloth, and put on three good coats. The key is in the prep.

The only clue that the pod isn't factory is the molded texture doesn't match the rest of the dash, but it's subtle and most folks don't notice.
