Bootstrap padding BG colour - css

Question

this is my webpage http://www.noor-azmi.com/element/company.html
As you can see, there are 2 grey boxes on top. I do not want the gap in between them. I want it to be combined into 1 rectangle box.
They are both in different columns the left one is col-8 and the right one os col-4. When i checked in the browser, it seems there is a 15px padding each between them.
I am ok with the padding but can the padding also have the same BG colour ? Then that will solve the issue. Thanks
