Hi All, I have a 2017 Silverado 1500 LT, and I am looking for aerosol paint to match the dark metallic paint that is on a bunch of the interior trim pieces. In this case, specifically the panel with the headlights, dimmer and 4WD controls on it. My RPO code sticker says 4AA on it, which should be Jet black, but I cant find anyone selling paint referencing this 4AA number. I have found "Jet Black" interior color paint on this site, and maybe some others, but the numbers not matching concerns me. https://www.paintscratch.com/touch_up_paint/Chevrolet/2017-Chevrolet-Silverado-Jet-Black-Interior-WA600R.html

 

Thank you for any help!

 

In case you are interested what I am working on, my truck did not come with the factory trailer brake controller, and I need to add one. Decided to try my hand at modifying the trim panel using a 3D printer, some plastic bond, and glazing putty to fit a Tekonsha Prodigy iD in the factory location. It wont match perfectly, but I think it will be in a good location and wont stand out too much.

I added trailer brake controls to the same panel. The factory color has a very fine metallic flake in it. When I painted mine, I first sprayed it with satin black and then I sprayed a very light dusting of metallic black from about 2-3 ft away.

Did you add the OEM or an aftermarket brake controller. If you added the OEM one, you would be the first person to successfully do that and many on this forum would be interested in how you got it done.

Are you trying to add the factory brake controller or are you planning on adding an aftermarket one to that panel?

Its aftermarket, it says it the post, it is a Tekonsha Prodigy iD. You can see the knob in the photos, it is not the factory slider.

I installed a Reese unit that mounts behind the dash and has a small dial/ button and an LED that I mounted in the dash panel.

Just an update for anyone following along. Ended up working with my local autoparts store to mix a custom spray can to match. Its pretty close, close enough no one else is going to notice it unless they are looking for it or know that the trailer brake control knob isn't supposed to be there. Photo below of the mix he came up with. It has a little bit more black than the factory, and could use even a bit more flattening agent than the bunch that was already in there.
