Can anyone identify the charcoal grey paint currently used to paint some
modern cockpits? Its a dark grey charcoal colour, Matte finish. Its like a
metallic paint where the metaflake is replaced with fine white specks.

Zolatone system 20 is one such coating and is often seen in cockpits, boats
and other vehicles.
Here are a couple of links.

You can also go to the auto parts store and purchase a few rattle cans
of "trunk paint". Same thing, very strong and long lasting.

I believe the K21 cockpit is finished in Nextel, a specialist matte paint
with a soft, almost flock-like feel to it. Kills reflections stone dead,
but difficult to keep clean.

Zolatone works great. At your local auto paint store. If you don't want to
set up a sprayer, there are sparay cans of trunk paint but they don't work as
good.
