Default Scion Dash/ Radio Trim Replacement

I was working on painting my radio/center trim piece and had some trouble. In the event that I can't fix it, does anyone know where I can purchase a replacement trim piece? Thanks in advance.

I think I applied the paint a little too fast. It was not completely dry between layers and became gummy towards the end, I am haveing to sand it all down. It is a pain.

Not cool. I want to do some painting of interior pieces but I realize that it will be a long process.

Mine looked perfect, no problems... I didn't wait long enough for it to dry, so I went to put it on, and all 10 of my fingers sunk into the paint and clear coat.

I was insanely frustrated, so I started taking the paint off.... agressively.

So, I guess it's my fault, but still, it sucks.

I had a similar problem on my old Focus. Cheap place to check is the local salvage yard. Worked good for a Focus, but then there are a bajillion of those on the road. Worth a try at least.

As long as it is fresh asitone?? should take it off and you will need very little sanding,At least it worked for me.
