Default Repainting armrests in my B5

I'm about ready to just order the paint but first I wanted some opinions on the correct color match. I have a black and beige interior so the armrests are beige. I narrowed it down to these ones I think http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXGMT8&P=7 then this one http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXKSH7&P=7 the tan one is a closer match but it is glossy I believe. The other could work but it probably wont be as close a match. So has anyone else done it successfully? What did you use if so.

I really doubt that will work well on the plastic. The stuff I linked is made for plastic and will be very difficult to peel off when its dry.

The stuff your looking at is designed for plastic models made of styrene. The Duplicolor product is specifically designed for car interiors. When it states it is a Vinyl spray paint that means plastic. I'm sure the Tamiya product will be fine just don't expect it to not peel.
