2007 Sonata dashboard paint
Gents;
Have a trusty 2007 4 cylinder plain Sonata with the semi dark greyish dashboard color. I put in an aftermarket radio along with a subwoofer so I could listen to yesterday's music in high fidelity. While I was doing so I laid the hazard switch on top of my son's car. Bad thing to do because he drove away before I could retrieve the switch and housing. Now its lost. My question.... would any of you kind gents know where I could get a spray can of interior paint so I could paint the new piece the correct color? I've looked at many sites but they only carry the exterior paint. I suppose I paint the new piece a grey color using any spray paint but the color will almost assuredly considerably mismatch causing me to constantly look at it and quite possibly cause an accident! Thanks my friends. |
Some NAPA stores carry quite an assortment of spray paints and you could check which comes closest to what you want.
Something to keep in mind, don't purchase a gloss finish paint because that will reflect all sorts of glare back to the driver.. It may look nice when painted, but will be a driving hazard when the gloss reflects back to the driver's eyes. Most folks don't notice dash coverings are designed to be non reflective. |

Thank you for your confidence and kind words.
Always glad to hear from you , and if you will, please let us know how you make out with this, thanks. |
Hanky; Received the specially mixed paint....$30 bucks! However, it doesn't match, not even close. I called the company and described my issue about my dash needing replacement bezels and such painted. They looked up my order and told me that I ordered fabric paint and not trim paint. They said to send the paint back for a refund no questions asked. Looks like I caused the problem though by not reading the fine print. Don't know if I will send it back or not but regardless, I'm off to NAPA...as you suggested. Thanks my friend

And how sweet it is ......love it! Not much to see from an old Hyundai but as soon as I'm done I'll post a couple of pictures. Thanks Hanky |

You may start a new trend with that color scheme.
Looks pretty good to me. |
