Can find some listings on the web, but looking for an opinion on a good source for two items:

First - Correct wire to replace some of the VW stuff (DIN?). Want to make a couple harnesses for some add-ons / replace some older stuff and would like to use proper brown-blue stripe ground. Obviously the solid ones I can get locally, but some of the striped items are not as easy to locate. Anyone?

Secondly, has anyone found a source or a correct match for the interior brown paint on the stove / water tank face plate in spray cans? I suppose I can take to a body shop supply house and get some bulk paint made up, but I thought I would ask. Needed for said add-ons and repairs to interior.

Thank you,
LP

Thank you. I knew the stove face plate was powder coated, but I was hoping someone had found a match in a spray bomb for my add ons.

Putting an overhead entry light with directional reading lights from a Suburban into the ceiling and its grey. Wanted to properly match the brown paint as powder will not adhere to plastic.

Also working on an overhead console with integrated GPS for the 'cockpit' that will require the same brown paint.
