Interior color question
I have an area that is staring to peel on the radio bezel. The layer underneath has more gloss to it and is very ugly.
What, if any, touch up/home depot/lowes paint best matches the interior black for a touch up.
Thanks

Forget Home Depot or Lowes. Find an automotive paint supplier in your area and they will have the factory correct aerosol paint that will perfectly match your interior. I did this for a previous vehicle. The product I was sold is called SEM Coat. It's a flexible paint specifically for automotive interiors. Plastic, vinyl and carpet. Excellent stuff. Good luck.

It shouldn't be too tough. Find out where your local body shops and auto painters are buying their supplies and go there yourself. That's what I did. You may have to order what you need online, but the main thing is to use a product that is formulated specifically for the intended use for the best results.

Mine was peeling and I ended up buying new parts from Vette Essentials.
I think C5kidd sands, repaints and puts clear on to stop the peeling.
It's very hot in the console area due to the exhaust, you'll probably see wear marks on your center console where your right knee rubs against it.
The Black you are seeing is the same color that the rest of the interior plastic pieces are, except GM coated them so that they would match the flat black leather vinyl of the dash.
Good Luck
