    I got a new head unit and the dash kit that came with it is supposed to be black, but it looks more like a dark grayish...

    Anyway, should I get flat black? I feel like glossy may be a bit much. Any brand recommendations? Should I sand it, or no..because it is textured and I feel like I shouldn't

    I used Krylon Fusion Flat Black. It was a good match.
