Not too black like I was a little concerned about and not too gray. I think it actually matches the unfaded plastic nearly perfectly!

I was going to do a write up, but I think someone else already has. Let me know if you have anymore questions.

Thanks. I'm thinking about buying a new one and having it painted to match my Granite.

Don't mention it. The krylon really did the trick for me. I think it cost maybe $5 max and there was only about 30-45 minutes of work involved, cleaning and drying the cowl took the longest . I think it would look really sharp to have it color matched to the body on a Granite or Storm Gray truck!

I'm considering doing that to mine too. Mine is getting faded out from the sun. I'm going to do a full detail of the truck Tuesday before I go out of town for Labor Day.
