I have a 2004 RAV4 5 speed. Charcoal/Black interior with Silver accents. The silver accents are scratch or worn off down to black. I'd like to know what color paint to repair this with. Or where can I find this information? Thanks for any help you can offer!!!

I don't know if you'll find the exact paint but a similar
color like JT mentioned should do.

I'd phone a few large Automotive supply
chains. If they don't have it, then they'll know
Paint suppliers.
Then, ether bring in your part and match it
to an existing Car spray bomb Paint (cheapest),
or
Have them custom make you a spray can from a sample.

Just remember that it is a Flat/Mat metallic finish.

Good luck, Walt :D

I forgot to mention that this is a High wear piece.

Ideally a durable multiple clear coat finish should be applied.

In this case a Flat finish.

Be careful though, some Clear coats may re-act with paints.
So either test it, or wait 48 hrs for paint to dry (depending on
type & thickness).

Also do all the proper painting proceedures,
clean, light sand, & clean before painting.

Good Luck :D
