An option whilst you wait for the hen to drop a tooth or two is, 4 tins of poundland auto spray black (use the term auto spray with several pounds of salt lol) on a smokestone shelf gives a pretty good match to ash grey.

1 tin was enough for a coat for the shelf, 4 coats gave a good result. That is what mine is, with the fittings from the original ash grey non blind shelf.

Done a few in the same way, works quite well and looks so much better in my opinion against the colours chosen by MGR.

Presumably you have the ZT shelf?

Make the blind fit your own shelf, all the cut out markings will be there I'm guessing, just like they are on the Rover.

I fitted a blind to my existing shelf.

Depends on what finish your after, mine has a mixture and very satisfied with the result, the paint used for mine came from Poundland at a vast price of ----- ?
As you would expect, the satin will provide a flat look, but the gloss will provide a more pleasant less flat appearance.

I decided not to bother fitting the blind. I've had the 75 shelf out of the car once (to sort out aerial stuff) and yes, the cut out markings were there. I just can't be bothered with all the rigmarole of running wiring, removing shelf again, cutting the slot, replacing shelf, etc. Plus there's a heavy condensation problem with the rear windscreen and I didn't want the blind & motor getting soaked in H2O.

I cannot remember whether I used gloss or satin. It has a flattish finish, and I likely would have went for the satin as the shelf would have had a matt finish. But being poundland, I wouldnt expect a high gloss result from the paint - so it could still have been gloss lol.
