Default INTERIOR touch up paint???

I have matched the black OK but I also have I guess an Olive green color dash. Does anyone know where to get interior touch up paint. I would like to re finish the colomn its all scratched up. I was also thinking of spraying the kick boards the Olive color because the Tan shows every scuff mark.

For the tan/beige whatever color it is?

I found an almost perfect match I would say 99%. -Valspar 65042 URBAN BEIGE, SATIN, from lowes. I striped the old paint with acetone and an aray of brushes and steel wool. Primed with clear plastic primer (also from Lowes) and sprayed them with the enamel. Good deal for $7. They came out incredible.

I am still on the hunt for the Grey(or so I'm told it's grey/blue I thought it was Olive must have been the reflection). I haven't found anything that matches yet.

Regular enamel as you used works... But they do have dedicated Interior paint, as well as Vinyl paint.

I've used the vinyl paint-it sucked.

The best paint for interiors that I used was actually epoxy primer it has a satin sheen and lasts forever, but your stuck with the basic primer colors.

I'm real happy to have found a can of paint for $3.75. the special order paint wasn't that bad at $12 but they do not have an Audi specific colors. So, I basically have to go by what I see on the computer screen. Not going to happen, I can barely pick the paint out in the isle.

I did use the plastic primer, It totally reduced the fish eyes.
So I've got that going for me, which is nice.

I only have the steering column to do in Grey. I would hate to have a can mixed just for that. I'll keep looking around.

I can't imagine why they sprayed that soft touch crap over the paint. It feels like **** too. Did people really like that stuff? Or is the grimy car feeling "IN" in Germany

I never ended up matching the Grey dash color. So I decided Before I went to the auto shop for a paint match I would try painting the column tan like the bottom half.
I painted all of the door trim front and back, the column and the center armrest. The color matched perfect, the sheen has a little more shine I went with satin but I used alot of paint on them. I'm real happy with the results.
You would need to look at your bentley to see how all of the trim comes off. Nothing broke on me, everything was durable.

COST $7.00 paint $16.00 Acetone 1 good day

I don't have before pics, So you'll just have to go outside and look at your own
