Audi Quartz Grey is very close to rhodium. Try a aerosol from Halfords.

No need to do that! The paint code for Rhodium is MVP and the official name is actually "Dark Rhodium". I have had a can of it made up by a car paint shop - cost about £12.00 for quite a large aerosol. The man in the shop didn't think he could do it at first, and was surprised when the code came up on his computer!

Take a piece of rhodium trim to a decent paint place. Took a piece to the one over the road from my work (Turners Trade Paints in Cannock). They matched it spot on :-)

The alternative is to get a spare dash set, get a close match and paint the lot

Audi Quartz Grey. I was intending moving the switches away from the tunnel (stop the dogs standing on them!) but never got round to it. This is a modified hazard/lock switch plate sprayed with the Audi colour.
