There are several spray paints that have texture in them. Just check out Home Depot and you will find tons.

I would bet they have one in a color close to what you need, and if they don't you might be able to spray the textured paint and give it another light coat of paint that matches perfectly.

I will have to look into the textured paints next time I am there.

Anyone know what the exact color of the dash pannel is?

yeah, I have always liked kenwood, mostly because I have never had any problems with them, and the sound quality is awesome. I was even looking to upgrade to the new version of this head unit. I called up crutchfield and was asking them if there was any way I could hook up my ipod to this one, and they said no, ut pointed me to the new version of the new version of the one I have. (there is already a replacement for the headunit I have, but the new one will replace that one. Think of it as the grandson of my headunit, lol) and they basically told me that its the ****.

I almost told him to sign me up for a preorder, but I figured that the one I have works fine, and I can always upgrade later.
