My Auxillary Port

Ok, so I got an aftermarket head-unit and decided to add an auxillary port since my receiver has a rear aux. in. Obviously, as seen in the following picture, I didn't match up the paint very well. So here is my question: Is there a paint that better matches our interior trim, or should I just redo all of the black trim in this even more metallic black and then clearcoat it?


Btw, the flash made the lower part look not-so-metallic for some reason.

Thanks in advance for the input, have a great day!

There were complications I don't want to go into. In other words, I f'ed up and had some stuff laying around to experiment with. If all else fails, I'll end up doing just that.

unless you want to paint the whole thing, your best bet would be to just get a new tab at the junk yard and drill a hole.

No thanks to the junk yard. I work at a dealership and get parts really cheap. I just want to see what I can do. Painting isn't a problem at all.
