Been getting back in the saddle again after nearly a decade away from the 'Bolts. Starting out on a small project, that being some interior accessories which require painting. I'm limiting my choices to rattle cans because it's simply way to expensive to have a paint shop custom mix a color, which more often than not still doesn't match what GM used originally. I think someone posted that the original color was Pulsar Gray, which doesn't mean anything as every manufacturer has a different name for every different batch of gray paint. But at least that brings to mind a general shade of color. Thanks Denny G Sandwich, IL
Hello Mr. Graham! Its been a bit since we conversed. Take a look on Jim Carters site , Pulsar Gray , PT113, $52,25 quart. I used his Pearl Beige on part of my interior . Its a single stage and it applies very well. Your might consider looking at Jim Carters Pulsar Gray. It's most likely the same brand of paint.

I'll second what Ron says on the paint that Jim Carter sells. It sprays well straight out of the can. I suppose you could easily use it in one of those sprayers that uses a can of propellant instead of a paint gun. However, I did have an issue with it matching on my interior however, as it was noticeably darker than the original hidden spots on my interior. I was able to have it adjusted by the local paint shop, and it came out close enough, since I'm painting everything. If you had the formula, a paint shop could mix it and put it in a spray can for you for less than $40. If you have the original part, they have books of paint chips you could match it with visually and that would give them the formula.
