    Anyone know the color code or color name of the light grey paint that's on the dash?

    Can you zoom out just a bit for some perspective?

    I think that is anodized aluminum

    Not a painted surface?

    Not sure

    It’s painted. And it’s the same paint in all the Ferrari interiors

    Todd, thanks for the verification. My question to the forum is does anyone know the name of the paint or the paint code?

    I do not know the color or code, sorry- technically, I think it’s powder coated but ya, it’s still paint. My F8 has this same gray on parts of the dash.

    powder coated metal

    that seems correct

    these trim pieces can come painted from the factory, but the OEM coating is a powder coat

    the finish can chip and it is hard to fix since is is not a clear coat paint type application

    my door handle has a small chip in it

    anyone find a solution let me know, otherwise I will just replace the handle

    Ye, I refer to powder coating as ‘painted’.. same thing, different application process is all. — but the only proper solution is to remove, prep and powder coat again since touch up will never be right no matter how good of a touch up artist you are. I wouldn’t know where to find the color code though.

    agreed
    touch up nearly impossible
    I think this helps the OP figure out what to do

    My plan was to paint the entire piece which is already off the car. I've had metal pieces powder coated but never something plastic. Does the heat affect the plastic?

    Richard, if you decide to re-powdercoat.... this place does outstanding honest work. Bonnie is the owner and long time powder coater. They are right up the highway in Zephyrhills.

    Can't blame it on the misses. I didn't do a proper job of taping when I removed it to fix sticky buttons.
