I know the dealer carries touch-up paint for the exterior but I don't think they sell touch-up paints for the interior unless somebody plese correct me here.

I don't believe any of the interior parts are painted from the factory. If your interior bits are painted, either you did it, had it done, or a PO had it done. Might make it hard to match....

Actually, all "Aluminum-Look" parts come painted that way from the factory.

Car is an 2002 Boxster base model. All the interior door handles and gear knobs are original factory OEM that came with the car...I just want to touch-up some silver paint scratches. Just wondering what kind of silver paint to buy and where to purchase. Thanks!

yeah I have those on my door handles, its "aluma look" I don't think you should try and paint that without removing and using a paint gun.

I have this factory silver/titanium color on the gauge surround, switch plates, AC trim, and center console. It's not as silver as the handles. Beat up so it needs fixed and resprayed.

Might talk to Eric at https://www.bumperplugs.com/ who does custom painting of Porsche parts. Excellent reputation. Not especially cheap as in spray can cheap. But the quality pleased me.

Just went though this with the trim ring around the shifter boot.
It had some blemishes that bugged me.
When I started to sand, it turned out it was thin aluminum tape material with wrinkles.
So I peeled it off and painted it with this:
sorry for the rotation issue.....Dupli-Color Universal Silver Metalic.

The '01 I just picked up had the rough silver trim on the doors, center console, radio surround and roll bar etc. as well. It was worn, chipped, scratched, and looked awful. I have not done the doors yet (may just touch those up) and the roll bar is fine but I did re-paint the center console while it was out to address the shifter. I also went ahead and did the radio surround in preparation for the new stereo all in semi-gloss black. It came out great and the texture is nice as well. I used rattle can silicone lacquer, whatever that is.
