Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

I used a silver color from pep-boys that someone out there recommended to match arctic silver.

Coverage and how to read this overview

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.

5 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

hey i knew if i put IMS in the title box i'd get more attention, but this is a question to see if anyone knows of a product that can touch up those nasty flaked off areas on our rear center consoles? would love to get a shiny new painted one from bumperplugs, but in the mean time this is driving me nuts! thanks

POST 2Original post

I took my ashtray to Home Depot and had them match the color in a flat enamel. Works perfectly. Put a very small amount into a paper cup, just enough to cover the bottom of the cup. That way if it tips over, you won't have paint all over the place. Use a foam brush to apply.

POST 3Original post

I'm not sure what you mean - I don't have any areas on my console that are flaked off. Was this caused by some specific event, or does it appear to just be wearing off or flaking off for no apparant reason?

POST 4Original post

It's fairly easy to paint it yourself. There are several DIY threads on this.

POST 5Original post

My sport seatbacks and center console are looking pretty bad. The rubbery paint scratches easily and the black plastic shows through underneath. I painted my ashtray just to see how it would come out. I used a silver color from pep-boys that someone out there recommended to match arctic silver. Sanded all of the rubbery stuff off. Then used a plastic primer, then sanded between light coats of silver. Finally clear coated over it. I'll update with the paint code when I get home if anyone is interested. I think it looks fantastic. Very smooth and the color looks almost identical to AS. I am debating on doing the whole center console like that and possibly the seat backs. I'd love to get bumper plugs to do it but they are pretty steep and I'd rather spend that money on performance/track time.
