Interior trim color?

I'm trying to find the same exact silverish color for the interior trim. My passenger side dash piece(idk what it's called lol) has a huge noticeable scratch that everyone points out. Anyone know where i can get that same color? I was told that GM does not carry that color.

sand it all and paint it any color of silver you want. a gunmetal color would look sick

Are you talking about your factory SS trim? If so, you have to order the whole kit from the dealer (I think.) If not, it's called 400 grit sandpaper and a rattle can!

either get GM matched paint and DIY or do all black, wouldn't look bad at all.

Dude paint it bright red and rice it out

On a serious note, it actually doesn't look too overboard painted black, too much hassle though.

Has anyone found a good silver match yet? I don't want to paint the whole thing but I want paint the black bezel around my nav to match the rest of the car for a factory look.

Unfortunately i had the same problem too. But i messed mine up on my own. I went to the dealer and that little plastic piece is like $30 or $35. I just went to the junk yard and picked one up. It was like $3. And gm doesn't have matching paint. Good luck.

I don't need to replace any piece or panel I just need to paint this black piece around my GPS/NAV.



I guess I can take a one of the trim pieces some where and get as close as I can. I think the biggest challenge will be matching the semi flat finish.

It will never look right...just repaint all the trim. It's super easy.

I am not doing anything to the car that I cant put back. Plus I don't want to pant the entire trim for that one little piece. I just want a stock look. Most people think the NAV looks like it came with the car with the exception of the black trim piece.

take off a piece and there should be a paint code on the inside of it take the code to napa have them put it into a rattle can. if they cant make it they are lying cause i work at one they can get the code. ill take a look and see if i can get it

it might be opel gray but there are like ten pages of choices for interior colors/ alternatives for the the interiors but check for a code on a tag on one of the trim pieces but like jl-ka said it wont match exact becuase mettalics are a pain to try and match. but its always worth a shot. prob sink you bout 15 bux for a can from napa but i would try the salvage yard
