I removed the small piece from the top of the back of the center console (it pops right off) and used the flip side of that to test the paint.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

My 2003 Carrera has a gray interior with some scratches on the side of the center console and dash. The material is very thin and where scratched, the black shows through. Any ideas how to repair or paint over these areas. I haven't been able to find any touch-up paint. Would appreciate any help.

POST 2Original post

I just took some paint off the horse-shoe shaped piece around the AC and Radio controls in my 2002. I'm sure interested in a solution as well.

POST 3Original post

That's rubberized paint. Not something you can find just anywhere. This guy fixed it, but it doesn't sound easy: http://tinyurl.com/4uw2h3o

I've found a solution. I went to Home Depot and bought two small cans of paint..one flat black and one flat white. Both are water based acrylic. Starting with a good amount of white, I added black and mixed a little at a time. I removed the small piece from the top of the back of the center console (it pops right off) and used the flip side of that to test the paint. After a good half hour of mixing and testing, it matched nearly perfectly. If you do this, be sure to let it dry for the final outcome. I used in on numerous spots in the car, on the center console and the dash. It's nearly invisible and cost less than 7 bucks total.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
