Default Help....Painting Edge gauge pod

What color and paint has everyone used to match the grey interior? I wanted to use the Krylon fusion as I've used it on plastic before and it worked great, but i don't think they have a grey color that is anywhere close...

make sure you sand the hell out of it and use a really good plastic primer... idk why but a normal primer didn't work for mine, now i need to sand it back down and start over lol
