    Struggling to find the correct paint for the interior door panels for my 2003 Toyota Tacoma PreRunner. I've researched and haven't really found an answer.

    A little bit of Background -
    My wife:mad: scratched the rear door panel when removing something and I wanted to fix it using http://scratchwizard.net/.
    Well the two cans of paint they sent (based on year/make/model) don't match. They sent Oak and Charcoal. The Oak (Tan to me) is too light and the Charcoal is way too dark. When researching the Charcoal looks like what I saw in a 2008 Tacoma.
    I went by AutoZone last night and took the cap of a can of Duplicolor Vinyl & Fabric Med Gray to place on the door panel, but it's not the same (too light).

    I know it's not going to be a perfect match, but has anyone had success with a "close" match? What product?
    Appreciate your help.

    I think the "official" Toyota Color Code can be found on the Toyota Motors Manufacture Sticker on the driver door jam.

    Wanted to post a follow up in case this could help someone out in the future....
    Went by a local body shop see how much they would charge to paint the door panel. Owner was honest and said they typically just replace the panels, but he did give me the name/number to a Vinyl Repairmen who they use occasionally to paint/repair interiors.
    Called the guy and met him a couple of days later at a Honda Dealership where he was doing some work.
    He asked if I could wait about an hour and said it would be $55. An hour later it looks brand new!!!! Most impressed.
    If someone is reading this needing to have a part of the interior repaired, I highly recommend contacting someone like this.

    "Most of the time you'll find it in the glove box, but it could also be on the driver side door pillar, OR in the spare tire well. The interior color code is in the bottom right of the sticker, but is also one of the RPO codes near the end of the list ending in the letter "I".
