Dashboard color matched paint?

I have a few scratches/paint chips on my 2000 F150 Scab and was wondering if anyone tell me where i may be able to find some vinyl/plastic paint to match my dash. I tried the stuff they have at AP stores with no luck. I even called Ford to pay an arm and a leg and they couldnt help me. Any suggestions?

Check your tag on the drivers door jam ... my '99 has the code X, which is Med Prairie Tan, but I think your 2000 may be H (Med Parchment).

Decipher the data tag HERE (3rd post)

I got some Colorbond #115 Med prairie tan, which matches the light color in my interior well. I haven't found out what the darker color is called ... I'm probably going to have to start buying a bunch of cans and see what matches.

Is your interior two-toned? If it's like mine, the data tag will only give the light color.

No my interior is just the one lighter color, which if I'm not mistaken is prairie tan. I recall being told that several years ago at Ford. The only darker tone I have on my truck is the area above my arm rests on the door panels. I'm going to check the data tag today so I can get the ball rolling with Colorbond.

I bought the Ford ebony paint from a local paint shop and used plastic primer bought from local store that starts with a 'W'....
