Stuff like radio button knobs where the paint has flaked off, scratches on the trim panels, etc.

Most regular paints tend to be too glossy. I've tried plasti-dip and the like, but they peel off too easily.

Can't really find anything in regards to interior touch-up paint, rather than just finding some matte/low gloss stuff at random.

Idears?

Most of the auto places have a vinyl paint for plastics and the like......I have used it to paint the plastic bits on PC cases and it seems to work.
YMMV

I see the Krylon stuff, but spray only. Don't want to have to mask off a bazillion little radio pieces. I guess I could spray bits of white and black to mix a grey on a paper plate, but the stuff dries too fast :(

We spray some into the lid or small container to get a puddle, then use a brush.

Or you could decant it into glass jar with a bendy straw and saran wrap.

Works for spray paints, I'd assume it would work here as well.
