Default peeling interior.

hey everyone. 02 a4, the coat of rubber is coming off all the interior. I got most of it off, but now the end result looks bad. Anything I can do? I tried plasti-dip, but that just wore away. I tried painting the trim, but I cannot find a can the same color of my interior, and if I did, I'm not going to spray everything in the car because that's insane.

Am I screwed?

i know a guy once bought all new buttons and spray painted the fascia of the housing for the buttons with spray paint. Just very very time consuming.

yupp a small problem with the audi interior. Its a pain. safest thing is to not use any cleaning products on any of the black colors buttons or trim.

My shifter surround peeled away like that. I sanded it all off and sprayed it with DupliColor Vinyl and Fabric Covering. It's lasted 6 years with no touch ups needed. You just need to prep it well and the finish will look factory.
