Hi, Ive tried searching but cannot find what im looking for.

The person who fit the CD player into my car made a right mess of the plastics so after pulling the CD player out and other temp/press dials i have taken the centre console apart for a referb and respray. Im trying to stay OEM so would like a matching paint colour. Any help on that and i would be grateful...

A few snaps of my progress

Japanese and hate flip ups (replacing with double din touch job)

Dials, both CD player and dials surrounded with foam for some reason... idiots

Dials out, plenty of wire for a relocate but i think they're too big to go anywhere so possibly bin job unless anyone fancies them?

The OEM colour is called 'Champagne Silver' the code is NH509L.
Vauxhall Blade Silver is the closet match you can buy.

Yep!

Alternatively do it another colour - someone had theirs done in Cosmic Grey for example; it looked slick.
 
Few coats of Primer in

Didn't want anything glossy. And if i don't like it i will just respray it another colour :)

Doing the gear stick cover too but didn't get a picture. Tomorrow morning i will re-fit some switches ect to see how they look in it
 
Finished the painting

The photos don't give the Satin black and justice :) Im happy with it

Reattached some stuff to get a better idea of how it will look in the car

Looks a good job, but I fear it would look 'basic' inside the car.

Is that climate control?
 
Thanks Duffy. Im very happy with the finish. Shouldn't go too badly with the dash plastics which is what i was worried about.
 
Excatly, should blend in nicely. If it doesnt just respray it as close as you can to factory as you said
