Same here, I got a little crazy taking out the HU and put a couple scratches on the ovenbay door.

Those are not really painted from the factory, I think they are molded the way they are. You can use a quality semigloss trim paint to get a decent look but not exactly like factory. SEM makes good trim paints in spray cans. Find an auto body supply that carries SEM and perhaps they can provide a charcoal that will more closely match, their "trim black" would look pretty good.

i think the matte finish renders it almost un-touchup-able. The easiest and cheapest way to fix it would be to sand and paint it with a clear coat. Match body color maybe?

What about some sort of small abrasive like how rubbing compound works on paint?
