I tried AutoZone but they had an even more limited selection, were charging a dollar more per can, and also couldn't order the Nissan Sunlit Sand.
So I went back to O'RAP and settled for GM Light Driftwood Sand Metallic 0482. I first bought a can of GM Fine Silver Birch -- that looked close to the faded OEM Fawn paint lingering in corners of the project wheel [under the flourescent store lights]. Then I compared that can top to the steering column, [outside in full sunilght.] and it was too silver. So I traded it out for the Drifwood Sand, that had a drop or two more gold.
Close enough. This ain't Art School. And I don't have the patience or budget to take the seerring wheel, or a piece of the column to a pro autopaint store for s custom color match. $9.99 vs $24.
