    Has anyone found a touch-up paint that matches the interior silver paint (wheel, door trims, etc.)? Thank you!

    Classic Silver Metallic (IF7) is our exterior colour, and is a perfect match on our wheels. I'd suspect it's also a match for interior trim, or very close. You can get touch up through dealership, sometimes pens with colour at one end and clearcoat at the other, sometimes bottle with applicator brush, depending on your region. Our dealership sells pen style, which I've used, and I've also tried Dupli-Color (available through automotive stores and Amazon, etcetera), the latter has a color brush at one end, clearcoat at the other, and an abrasive glass fiber pen for preparing the area.

    I tend to use just the colour coat, found the clearcoat tends to lift the colour coat. I'm only touching up small areas, and it doesn't really matter.
