    Okay,

    Something I have put off for quite a long time. But, I want to pull some console pieces off my dash, steering wheel, and doors..... and paint them quicksand to match my 2017 Tacoma DC/LB Off Road in Quicksand.

    Has anybody done this yet? If so has anyone found a spray paint that matches good enough?

    I wouldn't want to take a chance that the new paint is going to adhere to the trim long term, or possibly even short term.
    Going to like like sh_t if it doesn't and difficult to remedy.

    Agreed, it could be a disaster IF not done right. A good paint job is 90% prep work and the right adhesion primers, paints, and patience. But done right I think it would look great.

    Prep is the key. I painted the radio bezel on mine and its holding up really well. I also painted my gasshole and the paint still looks great after several fillups.
