As you guys may know, the older Boxes came with front and rear latches on the side of the driver's seat that were the old, lift up cable system. These are usually finished in a very bright silver paint. Looks ALMOST like a chrome silver paint.

On a number of my Boxes, these latches are scuffed up quite a bit from the foot dragging across the surface of the latch.

Porsche does NOT stock a touch up paint for this trim nor do they have a paint code that I am aware of. Since this same trim color is used elsewhere in the interior, I am wondering if any of you guys have found an acceptable replacement paint?

Any insights will be greatly appreciated and shared far and wide!

Thanks
