Anyone have any suggestions of paints that most closely match the brown dashboard?

There's a good paint for this, but i can't for the life of me remember what it's called. I'm sure someone will chime in.
PPG plastic dye or SEM color coat. I've used the PPG with great results. Never used the SEM but I've heard good things.

Here is a color chart for the SEM and a link to their site. I'd throw a PPG link up too but couldn't find one as I go through a local body shop for all my PPG needs..

If you go with either SEM or PPG just remember the prep work is VITAL. I redid some trim in my camaro, started with a good cleaning, hit it it lightly with 1000grit sandpaper, a nice adhesion promotor, and then finally came time to spray color. Don't skimp on your prep or you wont have good results.
