I need help w/ solution on this...

I'm installing a 3 gauge mount under dash from Diesel Manor...well, my dash is two-toned med parchment, lighter on the top, and darker around the stereo and on down. DM sells the med parchment that match's the lighter, but not the 'DARK' medium parchment. DM told me to check with Ford, but I went by there and got the Ned and the third reader just fired pizza delivery dude...he said Ford doesn't make it anymore...whatever that's worth.

Anybody ever run across this before, or know where i can get the medium 'DARK' parchment paint. TIA Jay

There are several sites which sell factory paint by factory paint code. If you look at the sticker on your lower door post, driver side, you'll find your interior paint code from which you can order matched paint. I was just researching that myself the other day and will look for a couple of links for you.

The bottom part of the dash is the same color as the top is it not? It's just that part around the radio and everything that is darker.

I have the same issue except for the medium flint (gray). I need "dark" medium flint. What has everyone else done to match the paint.

go to your local automotive paint supplier, most have interior paint displays and will have a book with the correct paint codes. I picked up a can of medium dark flint for like $9 from my local guy.

I took all my pods to a auto body paint shop... With a piece of the trim I wanted to match... 50 bucks later, its perfect and I am done.
