Paint code similar to newage centre console?
Previous owners kindly scratched the living day life out of the grey centre console fascia on my hawk, has anyone had any luck in repainting this with a similar colour? Wouldn't mind refreshing mine a little bit :thumb:

Free bump as I'm interested too :) as mine is slightly damaged.

I had mine painted at the body shop I use, they took it to their paint supplier and they matched it, but don't know the paint code unfortunately so can't help in that respect. Some paint suppliers have a scanner that can reproduce colours but they charge about £20+paint for the privilege.

Do it yourself. The whole silver section of dash comes out dead easy (lots of how to guides online) and then you can spray paint it freely without worrying about accidentally spraying non silver parts of the interior. And because you are respraying everything that is silver you don't need to worry about an exact colour match.
I particularly recommend plastidip in matt black. Very easy to use and gives a beautiful JDM style finish. Here is a google picture of a plastidip interior: http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i1...i/P4290021.jpg |

That looks really good! But how did you do the HVAC controls?
You can get a transfer kit for new HVAC controls but they are (1) hard to find, and (2) apparently the symbols don't quite match up with the back lighting so can look a bit odd. What I did do, however, was paint the hazard light in matt red. |
