I've seen this on a few LSs I've looked at. Is this pretty common? Is there an aftermarket paint or would I have to get an entirely new panel around that?
If I recall correctly, You have to get a whole new nav unit. When I took mine out for aftermarket iPod player install and to stop a squeak, i remember it being all one piece.
Yeah I remember someone mentioning its all in one. I think that trim piece around the nav actually seperates though based on this picture.
It could probably be repainted or I wonder how hard it would be to wrap in a vinyl wrap. I wrapped my other cars trim with vinyl wrap.
Found 2 other threads that may help too.
I used one of these for my dash before when I was doing a custom audio bezel, but I don't recall the product number. It was a almost perfect match. I'll see if I can find anything on it in my old emails.
[Update]
I found the original thread that helped me but I don't recall which one I ordered.
39263 Dark Titanium Metallic
39273 Charcoal Metallic
My previous owner taped & painted mine. Looks very good. Can only notice tape line if looking very closely. Considering price of new parts on vehicle this age & how good a touch up job looks, I would probably opt for the paint.
Lol, thought you were looking for a used one. I have one that I think I'll sell.
But as far as I've seen, most of the 430's I got in were elderly owned so I've never seen the scratches. But yeah there is a user here with a thread who had multiple attempts on matching the factory paint, check their thread I think they cracked the color code.

After 2
bezel. Didn't want to spend the money on a new one. I went to Home Depot and bought a rattle can of paint and touched it up myself. It came out good for $7.00. I might do a little sanding and hit it again, but now I am happy.
Am fortunate that mine is without any chipping, but for those who have this issue what is the exact color/product that has been used with good results?

Peeling around Navigation, can this be fixed?
