For anyone out there with the darker gray interior accents like I have on my 16. I found an almost identical paint match that looks great and is durable .
Rustoleum flat soft iron is almost spot on in both color and sheen.
I color
Matched my steering wheel bezel when I did the leather steering with audio control swap. I held onto a spare steering wheel bezel just Incase the paint didn’t hold up well but I’m happy to say it’s holding up great!.
It is designed to work with plastic and is a paint and primer in 1. I made sure to scuff the bezel with a scotch bright pad and then use wax and grease remover. I put about 3 coats of paint on and after the paint had time to dry I applied a light coat of paste wax.
the painted bezel has since seen 90 degree days, frosty mornings, I have accidentally smacked the bezel with my keys, I have purposely retired scratching it with my nails, I have purposely tried pushing on it hard for an extended period to see if it would leave finger prints or anything. It’s literally almost the same finish as the factory plastic!.
just figured I would share my findings Incase anyone else wants to match their steering wheel or other interior parts.
mans for me personally it work out even better because the interior matches well well my granite crystal exterior ( :
