Interior silver / gray paint match?

I agree, that silver paint scratches very easily. I was hoping someone had found a good rattle can match for it.
I found this link. You can choose the year of your vehicle. There is a legend at the bottom of the page. The legend seems to point to "1T3A Medium Light Stone" which shows to be used on "Most makes and models". The other choice would be "DY5 Medium Earth Grey" and shows it is used on F-150, F-250, and F-Series Lariat. However - it looks like it may be closer to 9PCC Obsidian Silver Met Mat...however that shows to be used only on the F-150.

I have played the "can you match it" game before at the Auto Parts store years ago with another vehicle. I wound up buying 5 or 6 different colors before finding one that kinda, sorta matched.

Just to follow up and provide an answer for future folks looking into this, I went ahead and purchased the paint linked below:
I would say it is not a PERFECT match, but it is very close, and I am satisfied with the final results. In real life, it appears just a tiny bit darker than the Ford original, and the finish is maybe slightly different. I do think the paint is probably meant to be an exterior base coat paint, but I think it will work fine. In the pictures below is the OEM vent bezel next to the new painted gauge pod bezel. The new pod bezel came painted, but was not, in my opinion, a close enough match, and had a few spots that I wanted to sand down and clean up just a little. Overall I'm very happy with it and know its going to look nice in the truck.
