Hey guys, I have a couple of scuff marks on my dash just above my double din unit and to the right of the cubyhole . I wanted to know what you guys do for little stuff like that. I called nissan and they suggested to purchase the entire center console . The scuffs are only 2 about 2inches long. I wanted touchup paint but didnt know where i should get it. I know it can be done just need to know where to get it. So can anyone help? Thanks in advance

 

I cannot see any type of touch-up paint working on the center console. Because of the textured surface I think it will end up looking worse.

Here are your options (IMO):

• Replace with a new/used center console
• Paint the entire center console

Most of the painted center consoles I've seen have been sanded down to a flat surface, though I've never done it personally so I can't tell you if they are also using a bondo type product as well.

 

I was looking for pictures of this for a long time. Depending on your color it can look really tacky IMO. I just bought one waiting for it to come in from a member on here, should look good with a double din in there. Since it's hard to find I'll help you out and show you the pictures I found. The one I bought is silverstone, same color as the car....I think it should look good.

 

Damn that looks nice.

 

so your the bastard that got this deal! i wanted it.. care to sell it to me? hahaha

 

Thats awesome, how was this achieved? I never thought it would be as hard to find just touch up paint for such a small ding but Nissan said no. But this panel looks great. So how much does a new one cost?

 

It is sanded down to a smooth finish, and painted.

 

When i had scuff marks on mine, all i did was paint the whole center console with black primer. It ended up matching the rest of my interior so i was cool with it.

 

someone on here used a acrylic opaque paint you get at a hobby store with excellent results. i tried it with mine and it worked.

 

You painted just where you needed it or the entire console? Marker or actual paint? I am having a bit of a time trying to get just the outer shell of the console to buy lol. With as little as a scuff mark I have i cant justify paying 300 for a new one.

 

you actually just touch up on the spot that scratched. if you want then i can post a pic of the bottle of paint i got from the fabric store. it is very close to perfect to color match.

it just need to be diluted it in water then dab on the bad spot with a cheese cloth.

pm me and i can get you details tonight once i get home. actually hahah i can send you some of the paint in a plastic bag and ship it to you if you want .since i bought like a 6oz bottle but still have like so much of it left.

 

if you have painted interior parts post up pics

 

Sanded smooth, normal auto paint.

 

 

Wow that looks pretty good.

 

great pics keep them coming, I know Ive seen a some painted blue and orange on the site. Anyone have ppw? Actually would be nice to get all colors posted?

 

any more pics?
