Need some help...tried searching but no dice

I removed my Edge Evolution and the stupid tape from the pod pulled up a tiny piece of silver paint from my dash. Does anyone know the color for the silver color on the plastic piece with the air vent nearest the driver side window.

See Arrow for piece and color.

What's with the cereal box?
When I had an edge, I painted my pod that color. Had no luck at the dealer or body shops trying to get that color. Finally had to get it custom mixed. Don't know if you can get it now or not, don't know the name of the color either. I can tell you it is mostly silver with a touch of tan and a touch of black.

Any of the following will work:

Akzo-Nobel FA9133I
BASF 3Q4
Dupont 3Q4CXXK
Martin-Senour MS65272 PPG 902177
Sherwin Williams SW 65272
Spies Hecker 741316
Standox 3Q4CXXK

Note though that it's very, very, very hard to spot repair that section of the dash and have it look right.

The spot is like the size of the tip of a sharpie...not big at all..but right in my line of site.

how'd you get the pod to stick that well? mine always pops off, even with the 3M VHB tape. whenever it gets hot in the sun, just comes right off...

I've got this same problem, except my spots are a little larger. On each side of my climate control on the silver, I have spots from where velcro was glued to the dash... I would really love to make those go away.
