Paint to match Piano Black?

Has anyone found a source for a spray can of paint that will exactly match piano black. I want to paint some plastic stuff in the interior to match the dash when I get my car.

thanks,
Corey

Unfortunately, in the paint world, there are as many different "blacks" as their are "whites", so you might have a hard time finding a perfect match. And since it's an interior panel colour and not a body colour, there's probably no paint code that you can use to buy matching paint.

If you really want the best possible match, I'd advise taking one of the piano black pieces off the car and taking it to a paint shop to be matched. They can either mix it up as a single-stage enamel, or just as a basecoat that you would then clearcoat over. They can also put it into an aerosol can for you, or just put it into a pint/quart can, depending on what painting equipment you have available to you.
