I recently upgraded the radio on my xB. The flip down door got scratched while the whole trim piece was removed. Is there a touch-up paint for the darker interior color or does any one know an off the shelf close match?
Thanks,
Matt

The doors painted? thought it was just plastic.

For light plastic scratches, I just wave the flame from a lighter over it. I did that on my door handle where the fiance's ring scratched it. You can barely see the scratch now. Just be very careful not to heat it for too long (melted plastic FTL) and try it on a hidden area first.

No guys, it's the little flip down door under the radio. It has the scratch marks.... It is white or silver under the dark color.

Or you can just take the door or whatever you want matched into a place that does color matching and get some the same color. Not sure how it will turn out, but if you spend some time on it, it couldn't look too bad.

Take it off and paint it. Same color or I would paint it a different color!?
