Default damaged cup holder cover

I left a post in the detailing section, but I'm looking for a way to repair or replace the cup holder cover in my 98 GS400. My wife spilled a couple of drops of nail polish remover on the top, and it took off the finish in an area about the size of a nickel. Is their anyone who knows the paint code for the console? How do you go about removing the cover only from the cup holder? Appreciate any help. I'm fairly new to the Club and this is my first problem I can't figure out on my own.

the greyish paint is hard to match. i would try to get a cover from the dealer. even if you find replacement paint, the new paint would most likely not match the older paint due to fading.

good luck.
