Use a foam brush and dab the paint on to mimic the soft-touch look.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Ignition key surround and drivers seat belt retractor trim
What do the pros do, refinish or replace part ?
If replace, who supplies ?
Refinish , which products ?
Remove any painted part and take it to an auto body supply co. They can match the color and put into a spray can. I take it you know what to do from here.
A few tips -
Pour a very small amount of the paint into a paper cup and use that. This way you don't risk spilling the paint in the car.
Use a foam brush and dab the paint on to mimic the soft-touch look.
Build up layers slowly if necessary.
I can't see latex enamel lasting for the long haul, unless you are very careful or never touch that area. You do know that stuff doesn't have any UV protectants in it? Also it isn't compatible with traditional polyurethane car paint.
I've used it on my rear center console that had a lot of scuff marks/scratches. It came out like new and has lasted a few years so far. I have some new scratches to cover up, maybe I'll do some before and after photos. The latex enamel paint seems to be at least as durable as the original paint. As far as UV - I have a cab and I haven't noticed any change in color of the treated areas.
