I'd just get it close. I have a can at the shop that matches the grey interior

I don't think you can dye a lighter color very easy. I know you can dye a darker color without any issues.
I have used the plastic paint from Duplicolor without any problems and it seems to hold up well.
Make sure you clean it good before painting it.

Dye is usually good for stuff that you don't touch often, ie: door panels etc. But something like that you should be fine.

well i got the grey like rubber bumpr paint as close as i could get, wet was a little shiney but still dark grey, maybe after it has dried in the plastic a little bit might look like it belongs, if not still grey instead of black,
