this may not fit in here but more peeps will read here. i have a 2002 ford E150. i put power windows and door locks in it. the dealer wants $100 for the switches and plastic frames for both doors. i have aftermarket switches that i can use but they wont fit in the frames that came with the van.(they already have some cut outs in them) the panels are grey. do they make grey ABS plastic?? do you have any ideas for me. i just need flat frames so i can cut the holes for the switches. i can send a pic of the frames if that will help.

thks,
david

I use this stuff on custom installs https://www.hi-techindustries.com/cat_page_1.htm it is a called a dye but it’s no different than spray paint. I use it on plastic and its very durable I have never had a problem with it coming off. Just be sure to match up the color correctly. Now I don’t know were you would buy it but I get it from a detail supply shop https://www.3dproducts.com/cgi-bin/3dproducts/index.html search for dye.
