What paint matches dark gray interior panels?

Does anyone know an interior paint that is a close match to the dark gray interior panels in my Firebird? I've recently purchased one of Hawk's reproduction headliner trim pieces, which only come in black for whatever reason.

I've tried the light and dark gray Duplicolor options that my local parts store has but they were lighter and darker than my interior.

I got a great match for my '91 from the Fiero Store, which should be the same for your '87. Here's the link -- they have several different shades depending on the (Fiero) year. I'll try to remember to check my cans when I get home and post the one you need.

Thanks. That looks quite promising.

Anyone else with suggestions?

It's "86-88 Dark Gray" at FieroStore. Did my door panel cupholders as a test, near perfect color match.

Bringing this back from the dead. It's been a year but I finally got around to removing the trim piece and painting it. The match is extremely good!

Couple of compare pics where it meets the side trim.
