Default Center Console Paint Finish

Hi Everyone. I am sick!

I have a 2011 GT Premium. There was a small coffee stain on my console (on one side of the console door) which would have probably come off with soap and water. Stupid me took some rubbing alcohol and tried to get it to come off. Oh it came off all right, along with the paint finish! What can I do????? I am so sick about what I did. Can this be replaced, refinished?

Thanks

Ouch! You should speak to the Service Manager at your dealer, p0ny. He may be able to assist with this.

Interesting.

How difficult is it to remove these console panels?

The way I see it you have three options:

1) Get an OEM replacement panel - pricey
2) Remove the panel yourself, sand and have it repainted /clearcoated
3) Have that portion vinyl wrapped with a color that goes well with your interior (probably the cheapest in terms of time and money..)->
