Your local auto paint supplier can mix any color for you and put it into a spray can. It will be a bit expensive. Depending on the paint type you may need two or three different cans if you have multi stage paint. The spray cans work best with lacquer or enamel.
You should find a listing in the yellow pages. If not check your local auto parts store or body shop. Some of them also mix paint.

I am almost certain that Eastwood carries interior paint. On those plastic pieces make sure that you wash them with soap and water. I usually use dish detergent. Dry them really good. Let them sit in the sun to warm. Spray them with a good plastic primer so that the paint won't peel. Now they are ready for paint. I hope this helps.

it doesnt have to match perfectly, since its not going to be side by side with the exterior paint.

<CITE>Touch Up Paint from PaintScratch.com</CITE>
<CITE>http://automotivetouchup.com/</CITE>
<CITE></CITE>

i would ask around at parts stores...ones that deal with paint products there are a couple around here that will mix you factory paint in a can. I almost bought some the other day for my engine cover but decided it would be better to do it by air brush
