Default Console Touchup Paint

I just put a big scratch in my console. It is the regular stock console, silver or alum in color. Anyone have a source for interior touchup paint? Also, what color is this? I can find exterior paint but no one seems to list C6 interior colors.

Just for your info, I sent an email to Fichtner asking about interior touchup paint. They replied that while GM has exterior paint available, they do not have any touchup paint for the interior. Not available from GM.

Have it removed and painted to match the body color of your car.

Just a thought.

Mil yellow on the interior is a bit too much for this guy. I am thinking about the Lingenfelter carbon fiber center console, it is only about $200. I am just not sure what is looks like. I would love to see one. The Lingenfelter site has a photo but it doesn't give the best view.

Then you haven't seen what the consol and dash trim looks like painted...great!!! It adds that perfect touch to the inside, which GM should have done in the first place or offered to.
Mine will stay silver, don't like the carbon fiber.

I have a MY coupe with ebony interior. Since day one I thought the silver looked out of place on this color combo. So I painted mine. It really gives a sporty feel to the inside. There is no mistaking you are driving a yellow car now! I have had a lot of good feed back on this mod. I know it's not for everybody, but with this combo it really works.





Ken at The Vetteshop has them already painted now. Give him a try:

GGWOODY did the carbon fiber. He says it looks great and the photos don't do it justice. Personally, I like the yellow/yellow look.

Try an auto paint supplier.

They can probably color match the interior paint and mix you a quart.

I too was told by GM that no interior touch up paint was being sold. Having touch up paint made at an auto paint shop is a great idea though. Thanks guys!
