Hey all

My under dash knee panel for my m3 could do with a little tlc so would any person on here know what spray paint colour or possibly a special trim paint would be best for perfect oem finish please, (Black interior) as I presume a few of you have probably done this already.

Thanks in advance to you kind gentlemen..

Satin black aerosol will get a good finish. Obviously give it a good clean with a scouring pad and some brake cleaner or similar and spray away.

Can't remember who it was but someone posted a good refurb of all the vinyl bits like that a few months ago re painted with a vinyl paint or dye looked decent

They (LHD) ones were still available at the stealers in 2012 for about £80 iirc. Might be worth a thought?

Well to be honest it had cracked and broken under where the taps tuck up into the steering rack but I did a good repair and you would not see it but apart from that its in great shape just a coat of something to mint it up again but in no hurry.
