racingjay Posted April 22, 2010 Report Share Posted April 22, 2010 Hello All, New here but getting a wealth of knowledge about my MKX. Quick question which I could not locate via search. My 2007 MKX has seen a little love on the climate control buttons. It's previous owner apparently felt the need to jab the fan button, eventually leading to marring the silver finish on the fan control. I took my truck in for service today and asked them to look at it. They are asking that I bring it back next week to let their "touch up guy" try and repaint the switch. I know its trivial, but I'm fearful that its going to look "touched up" instead of the way it should. Has anyone had this done at their dealer who can provide feedback. They've also offered to touch up the steering wheel radio control switches that are seeing the same rub on the corners. Thanks in advance for your input, as well as the knowledge I'm collecting throughout the site! Jason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish I could find some spray cans of that exact color silver in a plastic type paint that I could use. I'm not sure about the touch up guy. The touch up guy tried to fix a small tear in the passenger seat back of the front seat (the area that looks like leather but is actually vinyl) when we got the vehicle last year and dis-colored it so bad that the dealer agreed to replace that section of material with new OEM stuff. I would imagine there are more reliable places but dealers generally outsource this type of work to outside companies and the work varies from place to place. If you get to the dealer on a certain day of the week you'll notice a guy with a van (usually doing stuff to used cars, trade-ins, and lease returns) that does paint touch ups, installs the stick on pinstriping, and does various other minor cosmetic work. Thats who would do your work. Edited April 22, 2010 by klc317 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
