Good vendor for interior plastic paint? (imola)

[Andryuha]

I'm having a shifter surround/lower console 3d printed, so I will need to paint it. What's a good source for paint? There some local places that could potentially mix it up and put it in a rattle can, but unfortunately there isn't really a good piece that I can give them to scan the paint (I really don't want to take out my dash for this).

I dont think anyone to date has matched the interior trim color perfectly

Most color match guns are battery operated. Drive your car to the automotive paint store. Might also look around for SEM interior paint.

I figured as much, but I still need to get the panel painted. I've even read on some groups that OEM replacement panels don't match the rest of the interior.

COVID19 is making this pretty difficult at the moment .

How did you get accurate data for the panel? Did you get it scanned? Mind sharing it?

You do need to register to get access to the files (it's free though).

I want to see pics of the part before/after paint and installed!!

Got the data and pulled it into Catia V5. Looks like a really good resolution scan and should print out nicely. Of course you’ll have to do some post print work to get a proper finish but looks doable. Thanks for the link and looking forward to seeing the results. If good I’ll do one as well, mine is just black so paint matching won’t be as big of a deal for me.
