Had a little mishap when installing an aftermarket HU. I purchased a Metra dash kit from Dennis at DD Mods which he sanded down and painted. Is there any way to touch it up or does it need to be repainted? Any suggestions?

I sanded and painted my bezzel myself. I used matt black paint from home depot and it matched perfect. I just applied it in very light coats so that I could get a light texture to match the AC controls.

That said, if Dennis is willing to send you another one as mentioned above, that is an offer you might not be able to pass on. He is well regarded around here and I can see why. That is a very generous offer.

Thanks for doing this Dennis. My attempt to repair touch up the paint didn't work out well.
