Trim damage when installing new start button

Recently installed a red push to start button and caused some (very) minor damage around the silver trim that outlines the center console area. Was wondering if anyone knew the part number for this trim or if it can even be replaced? Or where I could get it in another color (preferably black). Image should be attached to this thread for a reference.

I don't know the part number but there are replacement interior kits (carbon) sold by R44 performance and Autoid that you may like.

If it's a scuff, try some car wax/polish. Otherwise, take it off, sand and spray paint it whatever color you wish.

Button I bought from Amazon came with a lump of sticky putty that worked perfectly to remove the button in 1 pull.

I guess some sellers didn’t include this putty?

You can buy a stick on carbon fiber trim piece on Aliexpress which will cover it. I think its around $120, just do a search.

same here you should not need to even touch the surrounding trim at all...
