blue granite metallic spray paint

I have a 05 LS in blue granite metallic. My problem is that they don't make this color in spray paint. I am looking into painting the interior panels and stuff, I was wondering what would look nice with that color.

look up some of my pics, i found something that looks close. i think it complements it well. not sure what the name of the color was, but it was the flake look too. go to your local auto store and see what they have. it doesn't have to be an exact match as long as it complements the color well.

it IS carbon fiber. if you look in the last pic you can see where the carbon fiber ends, and where the paint starts. i did a few things under the hood as well, and the calipers.

here's a few before the cf. you can see the paint much better.

if you have the money some auto paint supply shops can mix that color for you and put into a spray paint can.. i have had that done several time with other cars. its by no mean cheap but its the color youre looking for..
