Interior touchup paint

[maylar 10+ year member]

Hey guys, I'm looking for a small l bottle of interior touchup paint for my 2010 Caddy. GM calls the color "shale". I want a bottle with a little brush or a paint pen. All I can find is spray cans by SEM. Anybody know of a source for this, or if they exist?

Thanks

What are you trying to touchup? Is it plastic, leather, etc..

The fabric (leather?) covering my center console came loose and the most effective repair was to shoot a few staples through it (glue didn't work). So I have shiny staples that I want to cover with paint. I could probably find a bottle of exterior paint close in color but I'd rather get an exact match if possible. Just want a small bottle of touchup enamel with a brush like they have for exterior use.

Why didn't glue work???

The design sucks. The fabric tucks into a plastic channel that is secured in only a couple places and the plastic bosses crack. I used the best epoxy I could find and it just didn't last.

have you tried gluing the fabric to the surface???

Yes. That part worked. But the "surface" is broken, and it looks like crap. I'll have to post photos to explain better.

To fix your cracked dash, I would recommend the JB Weld Plastic Weld putty. I've used it a few times on plastic parts, and it worked pretty good.

In that situation, I buy the spray paint and spray it into the cap that came with the can. The gas evaporates and the liquified paint is left in the cap. You have 2 to 3 minutes to use your brush and do your painting. Repeat as required.
