Color match interior paint?

I just recently bought the edge and the pod it comes in looks cheasy black. I remember some of you mentioning color match paint? Where do I get it and how much? Also, anyone else that has this have trouble getting the pod to stick to the dash? I used alcohol swabs to clean the dash and it just keeps moving around. Besides the pod problems and the massive drone, I love the edge.

Theres a few options.

I went to the dealer and tried to order some color matched paint to paint mine. But after waiting for 4 weeks for the damn paint to come in, all they had ordered was some BLACK! I paid $20 for a damn can of black spray paint. Hopefully, your dealer will be better. I eventually just went to Walmart and bought some cheap spray paint and its pretty damn close. I can get you the part number, name and stuff later if you want. I'll even post up a picture of what it looks like since I deleted all of my photos of my old truck. Im just sick right now and I don't feel like going outside, just tell me if you want me to get it for you.

I just laid mine on the dash. Granted it did come off a few times when I was offroading real hard but for the most part it stayed put pretty good.

Did you get the velcro? Try that.

go to an automotive paint supplier and ask for either sem or dba interior paint. If you bring in a dash piece of decent size they can prob match it. My supplier mixes the paint and puts it into a spray can ready to use for about $18 regaurdless of what crazy color I need. And try 3m vhb tape, and heat up the tape a LITTLE with a heat gun or hair drier.
