    I have a 2006 Double Cab SR5 with the standard gray interior. WHile my daughter was driving the truck, someone sprayed OFF! bug spray in the cab and it ate the silver paint off the center of the dash in spots - it is spoted around the tops of the Air vents and across the CD player down to the radio.
    Can someone tell me if there is a close match in a rattle can that I can use to repaint this section?

    Thanks in advance.

    You will have to lightly sand off the gloss , primer and repaint the whole sections that's affected. This would be a good time to go with another color if you prefer. But if you like to stay with a similar color, I think Home Depot or autozone has metallic silver in a rattlecan.

    I am think about looking for a replacement panel at the junk yard if they are not too hard to replace.

    Prob your best option if you want it to keep the factory look.
