So the old threads from 2k4 are dead. Can anyone point me in the direction of the paint (I think it was Testors model paint) that matches the metallic dash plastic?

*bump!*

No one? Mods? Anyone? Any of us old timers remember?

I need to paint this weekend if I can!

I'll have pics of some cool stuff if I can get this done. . .

 

I think the model paint you both are referring to matched the non-premium interiors only......

If you have the premium package, the more silver/titanium looking finish, I don't think you will be able to match it with testors paint......

I used to mix two different testor's colors to try and touch up my stock 18"rims.....(which is a close match to the console dash trim) I believe it was Anthracite gray and silver.....

Maybe a body shop could mix/match something close.....

Hope this helps.....

 

I need something to touch up the premium silver interior also. What crap quality those plastics are

If I get a chance to stop by a body shop I'll post my results.

 

Thanks adawar. Try and find out what paint(s) they use too.

GR8TG35: I could have sworn up and down that I saw a thread somewhere with a dude holding up a piece of painted plastic to the "premium" painted plastic (haha! Allow myself to introduce. .. myself.) and it was a darn close match. I just can't find it for the life of me. BAH! Lousy ultra specific searches! I don't even know what key words to look up anymore. I wish they had an "exact phrase" search function.

But alas, I'll keep looking and post results when I find 'em.

Thanks everyone!

 

You may be right. I do remember a while ago somebody posted a thread about matching his revised air vent areas to match the willow/titanium finish.
I couldn't find the thread though, sorry guy......if I come across it again, I'll be sure to PM you the post #

 

It took me almost 10 minutes to find this ... racking my brains trying to figure out the right key words to use in the search.

PS - I still havent had time to stop by a body shop

 

I stopped by a reputable body shop, they weren't confident that they could make a match for the interior silver metallic dash plastic colour.

I am thinking about getting a second opinion.
