Check the Related Links section. It's Paintscratch.

do you think paint scratch will have a paint to match the color of the gauge pod inside the car? exterior paint, i see for sure, but one to match interior parts?

Oh yeah, probably not. It might not be good for this application, I was addressing the other post though.
I don't know of anyone who has found a perfect match for the grey interior though.

I hade an exceptional PITA trying to get it to match the interior color. I bought 3 different cans of gray paint (none of which were correct), so I ended up feathering on a few coats of light, then a little darker, then a little lighter, etc. until I had a close color. This summer I'm gonna pull it and paint it body-color like I did the rest of my interior. The gray is close, but the painted surface just doesn't look similar to the rest of the interior - even with a close color the texture is different.
Oh, and put a coat of satin/dull-coat on at the end to get some of the shinyness down.
EDIT:
You can see by the picture that it's off in color (even though the pillars are lighter than the dash). I was running out of patience for it though (plus I'm color blind anyway, so what do I care)

P.S. Old Pic - before the multigauge, chrome handles, and cousel painting.
