Spent a couple of hours at the paint shop today looking at colors to match the charcoal leather for my Nomad. Getting the right shade of charcoal was a little tricky and they change a lot under different lighting. Some of them have tiny blue reflections caused by the metallic in them and I didn't want that. I ended up with a GM color called Evoke Gray Metallic (aka Magnetic Gray Metallic) , which is a dark gray used by GM from 2008 to 2010. It's a good match to the leather sample and I think it will work well so I bought a quart of PPG DBC. I'll use it for the interior trim, lower dash, perhaps on the valence and console, a few chassis parts, on the engine, and maybe other places under the hood. Still thinking about the off-white for the back of the car, but I think I'm narrowing it down. ;)

I'm shocked by the amount of time it takes me to pick out colors and wheels. Its ridiculous.
