...Dash Board touch-up Question....

[xBHAWK]

I have a slight white scratch line on my dash board. It is almots un-noticable in some light conditions and is totally invisable in darkness, (but then everything is invisable in total darkness). My Question: Is there a sharpe marker that is the same color as our XB dash boards? Is there a shade of eye-shadow that matches? Does anyone have any dash touch-up experiences?

i believe the color is "dark grey" according to my window sticker

this'll sound odd, but hear me out...

pencil lead is the same color as the dimpled portions of our dashes - the problem is that pencil lead is shiny.

get some clear satin spray paint - satin, not gloss. spray it into the lid of the can 'til you get a little pool of it.
(now for the hard part) find some pencil lead shavings - just the lead, not the wood. well, it's really graphite, but you know what aI mean. I happen to have a pencil that is all lead - no wood - so when I sharpen it, it's all graphite powder.
now mix the two together.
with a brush, or perhaps a Q Tip - not your finger, it's too fat - dab the scratch.
wipe of any excess by rubbing w/ a clean finger back and forth across the scratch - not along it.
let it dry.
still see excess? rub again the same way, but a little harder.
wipe everything clean.

should this go in the tech section?

I will give these solitions a try. And I will report back on the effectiveness of them.

Yes, MODERATOR, this might go well into the tech interior section. Thanks for the ideas.

I'd try the Turtle Wax colored wax before the graphite-spray paint method. It would be much, much easier to clean off if it didn't match.
