I believe the problem with matching the metallic silver color from the console is that it’s a 2 stage paint similar to the hyper silver wheels. The panels are first painted black or the plastic is black and then a semi transparent silver is lightly sprayed over the black to give it the hyper or graphite look. The real only way to successfully match all the panels would be to replace them. Same thing if you scratch the hyper silver wheels, the entire wheel would have to be refinished. I have the scratches too and looked everywhere.

The color is close maybe needs a slight gray addition, the “bodywork” could use a little work LOL. A for effort though
