Interior paint for scratches on dash?

[thaemcee2]

Hey guys I have searched for interior paint and fixing scratches to the dash with not much for results...the dash on the passenger side right above the glove box has a decent size scratch...its def a scratch not a scuff cause I tried to clean/buff it off and it didnt work its def into the paint....soooo does anyone have any idea where to get interior paint and/or know about repairing the dash? Only thing I found was on a taco forum a link to a company selling paint that you could match to by sight....I have the charcoal grey code FB17 on my 2001 SR5...has to be a touchup kit or something for this...its small but still an eyesore to see all the time here is a pic in next post thanks in advance

I've used SEM Color Coat Light Oak. Matches pretty well, I've only used it on the plastic feet that goes on the bottom of the seats.

Thanks, I guess I'll look into them...gotta find a store nearby otherwise will have to find the best match by looking online...maybe I will just paint the whold airbag cover

Anyone else? I did come across a thread in which someone actually removed the airbag and the cover to replace the cover, guess you have to remove the whole thing cant just remove the cover...Im not so sure about messing with the airbag tho, altho it didnt seem too bad when i read his litttle write up...theres a good amount of the covers for sale on ebay so maybe its not tha bad...def disconnect the battery but anyone have insight on this or simply painting the dash for scratches???

SEM color coat for sure it is fantastic stuff. Smells horrible but works great

Wish I could remember the guy who did the interior blemish repairs for us when I worked for Lexus, he was a mobile service and did repairs for multiple dealers. The guy mixed the colors by eye and applied his finishes with a airbrush,did good work.

This guy is based in NJ, not a clue what he charges or how good is work is though https://www.fibrenew.com/great-falls/automotive-leather-plastic-vinyl-fabric-upholstery-repair/

Maybe try a body shop supplier, there's one towards north Jersey (town of Boonton off Rt 287) that electronically matches and mixes body paint, perhaps they can tint some SEM color coat

thanks! the fibrenew has a shop down here by me I just emailed them...wish I was better with paint esp. with interior work...anyone can just paint the whole dash but this is a little scratch that bugs the hell outta me

Well I bit the bullet and paid the Fibrenew Jersey Shore guy to come to my house and fix it...cost 125$ but he also did the glovebood door and some other pieces that were scratched...came out real nice! way more than the SEM paint but its over and done with and looks good
