I am waiting for my Gryphon to be delivered on Mar. 11th and I have the tan interior in my '08:

I went thru this and did find a close but not exact match. There are pictures of the painted pod and the brand of paint I used in my gallery. I bought the paint in Austin at Gladwin Paints. I was referred there by a body shop I stopped at to inquire about matching the trim color.

That IS close, Dfish! Maybe just a tad warmer? Nice post.

If you could tone down the red in that paint, that would be perfect. Like Jack said, it's just a touch warmer. Heckuva nice looking truck, though!

Below is a link for a 2005 F-150 Paint Chart and Part#'s. If you scroll all the way down youll see theres 2 different tan interior colors.. 1 is mediun pebble and 1 is dark pebble.. I dont know if these are the colors you need but hope it helps.. If part#'s are incorrect/old you can contact Tasca Ford they will give you the current part# and may even suggest the correct color.

I happened to have ordered Medium flint for my truck in preperation to buying my gryphon so i can paint it, that was before i found out they now come color matched instead of black. Well i got the MF it was $19.00 to my door for 6oz. Unfortunatly on the cap it looked similar to my interior but after testing a piece of plastic it turned out to be no more than just grey.. So it may be trial and error.. You could always do what everyone else is saying..go to a paint shop..maybe your speaker grills are tan also, you can bring them in for a match.. or anything thats the same color tan. Hope this helps!!

Yeah i realize that but when i got the Med Flint i ordered for my truck and tried it on a sample piece of plastic it looked as though it was just what you said..light grey. It had no sparkle at all like our dash trim has. Im gonna guess D Flint is going to be the same only darker. But anyway i dont have to deal with that anymore..I must have been reading old posts on f150online forum because now i found out edge is offering them similar to the existing trim color but not tan/beige.
