    Good evening all,

    Wondering if anyone has had any luck finding something that matches the silver of our climate control panels. I am close to pulling the trigger on replacing the factory Entune head unit and want the new bezel (black) to match as closely as possible. Due to the textured look/feel of it I figure vinyl wrap would be the way to go & if someone has figured it out they would hopefully be on here. Picture attached for reference, thanks all!

    Update: For those of you who may be looking for a solution on this in the future. I went to a couple different vinyl shops & looked through their sample swatches. Of the four or five mainstream vinyl companies this was the best match I could find for the brushed metal finish on the HVAC panel.

    It is a 3M vinyl wrap, color code 2080-BR230 Brushed Titanium, picture below. I thought I had a pic with it against the HVAC panel but it looks like I may have deleted it by mistake.

    Unfortunately the bezel I was going to have wrapped would not take to being wrapped very well, a lot of awkward contours and edges that would require stretching of the vinyl. This would cause the wrap to look distorted not have a uniform grain pattern in certain areas. May look at hydro-dipping if I can find a place close by but for now I will stick with black.
