yep..we were just talking about this.. i have painted some cabinets grey
before, just using spraypaint/satin finish light grey... if you want to match the
existing color, then you can have some paint custom mixed for you and spray it
on yourself with a compressor gun or the little Pre-val spray cans.

late model grey westy interiors are near impossible to find as most of them
are still on the road.
i hear there is a '90 westy in a denver junkyard though...i think the
cabinets in that one would better be described as CHARcoal rather than grey :<)
