Default Interior Paint Touch Ups

Any advice on touching up interior plastics (blacks/silvers on bezels, shifter console plates, gas cap emblem, etc.)? Not sure of process or type of paint involved .... any links or suggestions on how-to and where to buy paints ... after I have it painted what is best to keep the black plastics looking fresh and shiny?

Thanks group .... signed: newbe with a 3speed 68.

just recently redid the silver trim on the shifter colsole and gauge console . picked up a 1oz jar of silver paint from pep boys. you can tape the consoles but i opted to do it freehand with great results. heavy coat and short smooth strokes worked for me. i heard of a few people using nail polish , try the revlon metalic silver , i hear it looks good :lol:
