Found a paint that "seems" pretty close to chalk. Might actually be a bit darker, but probably close enough for a bezel on the dash that isn't that close to the actual paint... I'll send one to @riazah for a real-world color check. :)

Speaking of colors, I've found that Benjamin Moore Classic Burgundy is pretty close to Porsche's Bordeaux. I've all but given up finding off-the-shelf spray paint that matches. This week I'll take the leather and Benjamin Moore sample card into the auto paint shop and have them do a matching can, along with a few other Porsche colors (probably Gentian and Racing Yellow). @myjc and @JimB stay tuned! The leather wrapped version is still in the works too, but the timing is a bit out of my hands...

It may be a bit more expensive but doesn’t Porsche sell OEM paint in spray cans? If so, it would be a perfect match!

The problem is that Bordeaux is not a Porsche paint color -- just a leather color....
