I don't but I know it wouldn't be a problem to find a matching spray can. Testors Model Master makes about a dozen different shades of grey spraypaint, also Krylon grey is a match for "mouse grey" or something like that.

Isn't that the same color that people are using to match Palm green on busses? I didn't think that palm green and the color in the center of the speedo was that close?
