Do you mean an ordinary house paint store or an automotive paint store?  I
just paid $300 for the professional materials to paint my top, and most of
their paint runs around $90 a pint.

Stuart,

I needed some brown to match my dashboard and couldn't find anything close
enough. I went to a local paint store and took them-literally-my dashboard
and left if with them to scan. They only need a few square inches. They made
me a spray can in that exact color. They can make any finish you want.

If your LED panel is in bad shape, let me know. I have made up some inserts
in brown and gray that go right over the indented area in the panel.
