I want to put in an aftermarket head unit in my car however the Metra dash kit I ordered doesn't match my titanium's silver at all. It's more like a grayish color.

I was wondering if anyone knows the name of the color of the paint or where I could buy the paint to get it to match. I searched and everyone often said go to a 'paint shop' but I don't know any 'paint shops' in NYC. If anyone could help me out I'd appreciate it.

I was considering going to a general paint store and matching it to the samples, would that work? Then put it in a paint gun and spray?

(the vent silver color)

 

GRAIGGGG, just put your dang system in and worry about it later!

it's just a piece of plastic to take off and paint when you find the right color

 

^^ Some of us are **** about stuff like this. We love are Maximas, and they deserve the best.

 

Some Autozone's have a big selection of so called "trim" paint I can't remember the brand but ill try to put it up after I look at the brand. I found some that closely matched my interior pieces.

 

Take the trim piece to Sherwin Williams or Dupont.They can put the eye on it and that will match he close as close as possible. Buy a half pint, spray, dry, reinstall.

 

dont know the paint code, but its "Polished Titanium" just like the color on 2003's. this word comes from another maxima friend on the org

 

I'm sure if you do an internet search for paint shops in NYC, you'll find some.

 

I got the paint mixed at home depot today and sprayed it this evening, will post up pics when its installed

 

Home Depot must have shown up under "paint shop" in the phone book

 

If you're that "****" you would've gotten the GLE kit, just my $.02

 

don't you mean the GXE kit?

 

yep

 

The GXE kit isn't in the TE color. It's the stock GXE/GLE/non-TE SE color.

 

they make a color match kit through bestkits...single/double din

 

can we has a piktar now?

 

Just put clear coat on tonight, will try installing friday

 

Is that the Scosche dash kit?
I bought that one originally for my car cause it matched the color. Nothing I could do would make the stereo and pocket fit without leaving a gap.. I had to return the kit. Biggest junk ever.

I ended up with I believe a Metra kit which fits perfectly.

 

Well I think I get the award for paint match fail.
