You could try model paint I think its enamel based. There are a few online companies with colour palettes so you might be able to find a good match.I think thats what Daveo did a member on here. Btw is it easy to remove the aircon panel as I need to replace a button Present :2008 TDV8 HSE

Does look a lot better even in gloss black, especially on the nav surround. I have the walnut trim, so not sure the black would match as well as yours has Craig. I have ordered some charcoal wrap which I hope has a similar finish to the genuine LR darker shade. Tom
