SEM makes one that is pretty good. it takes some playing with to get the hang of it.
you can also use the 3M rocker panel spray it is in a green can, or Norton brand white rocker panel spray.
the 3M and the Norton will give you bigger grains to simulate vinyls, and the SEM will do dash textures.
it is a good i dea to pick up a can of SEM and the rocker panel spray. you can use them in commbination to get a better match some times.
the only thing i can tell you about spraying them is do not spray directly at the piece. stand about 3 ft back and spray just above the piece in even strokes. the larger pieces will fall on the piece being sprayed.
give it about 20 minutes to dry and lightly sand by hand with 400 grit dry.
like i said, it takes some practice to get it right........it will NOT be exact, but you should be able to get it close to what you need.
