Do you mean an ordinary house paint store or an automotive paint store? I just paid $300 for the professional materials to paint my top, and most of their paint runs around $90 a pint.

I went to a local paint store and took them-literally-my dashboard and left if with them to scan. They only need a few square inches. They made me a spray can in that exact color. They can make any finish you want. If your LED panel is in bad shape, let me know. I have made up some inserts in brown and gray that go right over the indented area in the panel.
