Spare tire/interior paint/decals

I have some questions for the experts/experienced TTA owners:
1. Is there a particular type of spray paint that is good for touching up interior plastic panels/covers? I will look for SEM paint but they don't make OEM color matches so it's hit or miss as to a match.
2. I need a spare tire and don't know where to get the inflatible one that comes with the TTA. I imagine they are expensive, so would get a more standard small-size spare if it could fit into the wheel well, which isn't very big. Anyone know of one that will fit there, and where I might get it from?
3. I have an original set of the decals for the TTA. I went to my local sign/banner shop and they said they probably are so old that they might not stick to the car. I didn't want to use them anyway as they are probably rare now, so wanted to have them reproduce them and print me a set of new ones. They said the biggest expense would be figuring out how to make up the pattern on the computer since the fonts are not standard; if I could find if someone had already made a digital version of the pattern it would be pretty cheap to make them. Anyone know if they have been reproduced by anyone already, either just a digital master file or as real decals I could buy?
Thanks,
Charlie

The spare needs to fit the rear brake calipers.
The original is aluminum that is painted black.

If you have an automotive paint shop nearby, you can have them mix a ready to spray pint or quart of interior paint. You will need to provide them with a non faded panel. They will need some time to match the beechwood color of our interior. You can get a "Preval Sprayer" from them if you don't have access to a paint gun and air. Dupont works well and adheres nicely, it is a little pricey vs. the rattle cans.

Good Luck,
Matt
 
If your just looking for a spare that will work any 3 rd gen GTA or Z28 with 4 wheel disks 16" rims and posi will work.

Nooo. It needs to be from an 89-92 WITH rear disc brakes. The PBR calipers are larger than the iron calipers,therefore the older spares WILL NOT clear the calipers.The 89-92 are aluminum that are painted black.
