I sprayed the ignition/key surround in body colored paint.

I used the Home Depot touch up described by Cuda for the rest of the pieces.

Personally, I didn't spray the horseshoe black, because I like how the black console lines up perfectly with the AC/Tray/Stereo.

Here is mine, all I did was have a shop paint the center console, radio surround, and the plastic sunroof button panel. I recovered the steering wheel and just want to do the airbag now as the color does not perfectly match. I also replaced the stock shifter and ebrake and all I would like to do is get blue seat belts.

Midnight blue? if so we have identical cars.

Now you need to start a "show us your Midnight Blue" car thread. The "Seal Grey" guys can't have all the fun of looking at identical cars.

Ck986

Yes midnight blue.

Midnight blue. It's the new black.

Yes ! hard to keep perfect,but one of the best colors...IMO.

the finish on all automotive and nearly all furniture leather, is paint, not dye not oil. There are very specific products that give factory quality refinish and most of them aren't even spray, they're brushed on.

Atrox,
What did you end up doing? Did you try one of these applique kits?
I see several on Ebay that look similar and often wondered how they turned out.
My 02 Targa came with burl walnut touches, many of which have cracked.
It needs to be totally removed and either replaced (but not with Porsche material) or painted (a much bigger project)_.
Thanks.

Has anyone had success with using PlastiDip on interior parts(seatbacks, center console, etc...). It looks like a pretty cool option and I saw a video of them doing a carbon fiber look as well.

Just plasti dipped my console, matches existing upper console. Dust from fingerprints I need to wipe off. Thanks for the idea buddy.

What leather dye did you use? There's a whole bunch of them, trying to figure out which one is best. At some point, I need to do this with my shift **** and seats. Did you take the seats out?

I've had plasti-dip on various parts now for a few years. I find that waxing the surface makes it a bit more slick and resistant to fingerprints and dust, not to mention the general "grabbiness" of the product.

I used Leather Renew, #2556. HOWEVER, it is not an exact match. It is a little lighter, and while I like it a lot, the OCD in me forced me to do the door panels too. No one else probably would have noticed. I can't stress how much of a contrast it was when compared to the pre-refinished console and seats. And that's contrast in a good way.

I touch up the bottom of the drivers seat about every 6 months (this is my DD), but doesn't take but a few minutes. The console has held up very well, only needing a couple of small dabs since I did it 2 years ago.

It would be best to remove the seats, but with the console out it's not really necessary. I didn't, but covered everything in the vicinity, just in case. A foam brush, which I usually hate, worked great.

Possibly as another option, I received this ad from a Bimmer site selling a textured vinyl wrap kit (actually made by DecalWerks), specifically for interiors, dashes, etc.
