Where can I get interior paint. This is to paint interior plastic, and not for dying vinyl.
More specifically, I'm looking for the dark grey from the 96-00 Honda Civic interior.

Thanks

Does Duplicolor offer OEM matching color?

I don't think so, but I wouldn't be surprised if it matched you interior. check out their website and check it out...I just wrote a test so im far to tired to look for you.

i would just suggest you to find a person who has a parts car for those interior pieces with the same interior color just because they are a pain in the ass to do a good job to paint without prepping them..most of those interior dyes will be hard for it to stick to the plastics unless you do some prep work on the pieces...the easiest way would just be cleaning the pieces off with rubbing alcohol first and then trying a test spray to see if it will stick by just cleaning it...also..finding the EXACT oem color may be a little hard.

I just bought an armrest. But the grey isn't the dark grey that I need. So just wondering if there's any paint that I can at least try to match it with.

But i'll give duplicolor a quick browse.

Yeah I checked that already. I'm hoping Characol Grey is similar to the color I need.

oh yea, before i forget. Try it on something first! you don't want to so the whole thing and then find it doesnt match after drying.

This canadian tire stuff sounds sketchy, I dont think you'd catch me doing it.

Similiar to touch-up paint for cars, even if you get your EXACT OEM color from the dealer and have it applied by a pro it still looks like shit.

My suggestion is find the parts from another car.

take it to calgary auto body paint supplies in the northeast and give them your interior code which is on your door jamb
