Default Dash colors

Did searching and couldn't find anything on this topic. I'm sure it's on here bc I can't be the only one with this issue but had no luck.

I recently purchased and installed the Edge Evo with the dash pod. However, the pod only comes in the gray color and my interior is the tan/brown color. Can anyone give suggestions on how to color match the pod with my dash? I was thinking prob just spray paint it with a matching color but not sure if anyone has suggestions on a good matching color I could find in the stores.

My dash is tan but some of the trim and the center piece is black. I painted the pod a satin black with some plastic epoxy. Looks good and matches the center piece.

I have some black in the center as well so that is not a bad idea. I'd like to match it up to the piece it is on but if I can't I will go with that. Thanks for the input!

Yea, just go to Wallmart or similar store. They have many colors to choose from. You don't even have to sand the pod. Just wash, rinse with alcohol and paint a couple of coats.

Pepboys has an "OEM" paint section. They let me take a handful of caps into the parking lot to try to match the color. The cap color and paint color didn't really match once I applied it, but it's close enough that it doesn't look cheap or out of place.

I just purchased and edge as we'll and have the same tan/black interior. I used plasti dip and painted the pod black, figured if I didn't like it I'd just peel it off. So far it's held up pretty good.
