Bright silver trim touch up!?

My questions don't stop! Atleast till I fix up my RDX...

Have you touched up the bright silver trim pieces on the center console and navigation control panel? If yes, what did you use?
My car has some minor scratches on these trim pieces, and I would like to cover it up instead of buying replacements for $15-$20 each of the center console trims!! Navigation console cost about $290 and installation cost at my local Acura dealer costs about $150!! I am in no mood to pay $450 for a trim.....

Thanks!

Just wrap it in something else. It is only going to get scuffed again. A few have done it in CF wrap and it looks good.
I like this one:


It may be too much for your taste, but you can see how just the silver trim in CF would look better than a touched up piece.

You are right Marco, I bought silver touch up paint from pep boys today, and it doesn't blend well. As much as I like CF, the picture posted seems too busy for me. But I might try using CF just for the silver trims.
