Default Touch up paint for dash


Ok guys so I had an essential oil air freshener that dripped on my dash on the lip just under the entertainment screen. The oil took the colour coating off the plastic leaving an ugly spot. Does anyone know of an exact colour match paint that I could use to touch this mess up look like a matte black to me but I could be wrong

Have you priced out a new dash piece? That's a pretty conspicuous place and a touch up, even with the correct paint is going to be noticeable. I don't know about you, but seeing the touch up there everyday would drive me nuts.

I never priced out the dash piece I just assumed being a ford part they would be $300 or something ridiculous and yes you are right it will drive me nuts especially because I just bought the truck new 6 months ago

How bout finding a sticker or decal about the same size or a bit bigger to cover it? or a piece of vinyl to cover that section of the bezel.

Check out used car parts, just have to make sure you get the matching part. Several different models of the bezel exist.

Pull the part, take to auto paint supply and let them match it. You will have to respray the whole thing anyway. Spotting that repair will be for someone with very good paint skills!
