Interior Touch-up for 2003 996

My 2003 Carrera has a gray interior with some scratches on the side of the center console and dash. The material is very thin and where scratched, the black shows through. Any ideas how to repair or paint over these areas. I haven't been able to find any touch-up paint. Would appreciate any help.

I just took some paint off the horse-shoe shaped piece around the AC and Radio controls in my 2002. I'm sure interested in a solution as well.

That's rubberized paint. Not something you can find just anywhere. This guy fixed it, but it doesn't sound easy:

I've found a solution. I went to Home Depot and bought two small cans of paint..one flat black and one flat white. Both are water based acrylic. Starting with a good amount of white, I added black and mixed a little at a time. I removed the small piece from the top of the back of the center console (it pops right off) and used the flip side of that to test the paint. After a good half hour of mixing and testing, it matched nearly perfectly. If you do this, be sure to let it dry for the final outcome. I used in on numerous spots in the car, on the center console and the dash. It's nearly invisible and cost less than 7 bucks total.
