dont really know if you need interior paint just a good paint period. Where you mounting them PILLAR? I just went down to parts store got closest paint to my interior then painted away for my pillar. It was a little cold only thing I wish I could have changed paint would have turned out a little better. But still cant tell any flaws just that I know whats there you know

Don't go to ford, way overpriced crappy paint. Go to a auto body paint supplier or a body shop.

Have you tried Diesel Manor? According to the guy I spoke to there, the stuff they sell matches better than Ford paint- they've spent a lot of time getting the colors just right.

If DM can't hook you up, I would try the nearest body shop. Heck who knows, they might even have a dabble of something left over they'd either give away or let go cheap- if you're real nice maybe they'll even spray the pillar for you.

Ford told me around August '07 that they no longer carry the paint and told me to go to an auto parts store. DieselManor where I bought my gauges from told me they were out of stock for my particular application. I called back about a month later and spoke with the same gal that sold me my gauges,
(Sandy?) and she said that dieselmanor no longer stocked the paint and told me to go to Ford.

I went to an auto upholstery shop that did vinyl repair and they painted both the pillar and the dash pod, great match for $20.00 and a day.
