Default black showing through on the glovebox

Does anybody know of anything i could use to touch up my glove box and some other parts that are the same color in the interior? It has some areas that are rubbed off and are revealing black underneath and its really not attractive at all haha. Anybody else with this issue came up with anything? Thanksss

You can get interior paint to match your car at any automotive paint supply store. If you want a perfect match, bring one of your interior parts in with you.

I already went to advanced auto and got the 2 colors that they had that were near our color but one was too light and one was too dark. They told me that for the interior there wasnt a paint color that i wanted.

I don't think you will find a perfect color match. It will always look "patched". I used a franchisee of Colorglo to change my interior color, but they can touch up any color. Check the internet for someone local. www.colorglo.com

They can even patch and rematch leather and vinyl tears.

Viponds in Austrailia make a product called Tautflex paint. SLK owners on MBworld use it, apparently it's a perfect match. They quoted me $40.00 shipped for enough paint to do the interior. You can contact Rosmarre at info@viponds.com.au

If you want it done right, find a guy that will do it. The dealership once messed up my interior. A large patch near the ignition key and the center console. They used one of their touch up guys that goes from dealership to dealership. It took him about 15 min and sprayed the paint. LOOKS GOOD AS NEW. You can't even tell!

If you're not too far from Alba-kooky, you can go see Maurine at the Sherwin-Williams Automotive store there. Tell her JP from West Chicago sent you and she'll take good care of you.

(NO! NOT like THAT! ... you wouldn't want her to do that anyway, trust me!)

Maurine says that no way to speak about a lady and anyway you have no idea whats she's got under coat.
That's just a primer for some other paint jokes.
I just have to brush up on my delivery.

Mo' ain't no lady - she's a badass paint chick. Not exactly easy on the eyes, but she knows her stuff.
