Default Center Dash Surround (how to fix a scrap?)

The grey/ silver paint that covers this piece has a scratch. Anyone know how to repair, preferably a DIY solution?

Also, have a little scrape on the front lip which is plastic as well, any thoughts on how to repair it.

Thanks as always all!

I painted mine satin black and it looks so much better than the silver. If it's a deep scratch you could always put some filler in there like bondo to get rid of it and paint it a different color.

Krylon fusion works well, just prep the surface well and spray several coats and it'll look awesome.

Nice dash!

I'd like to keep it stock if I could (crazy as that sounds).

Best thing to do if you want to be sure to get the same colour is go to the closest body/paint shop that have the setup to mix paint and bring your peice that needs to be painted. They have cards of the different colour codes and variances for the same codes that they use to match your colour. And there might be a store that does this also, and they can make it into a spray can so you can do it yourself. Thats how I painted my peices hot lava orange to match my exterior paint.

Anyone know the part number for the Center Dash Surround. Maybe that will be cheaper and easier.
