Default Dash trim customizing

I got a 2010 unlimited mountain edition and I wanted to spruce up the trim on the dash and some other small parts. I wanted to match the orange from the mountain decals but I don't know what to use or where to look. Any information on this or pictures for inspiration would be awesome.

I was looking more for an answer of what to use paint-wise or if hydrographic dipping would work well. I appreciate the input though!

Buy touch-up paint from Qtec or your dealer or anywhere online. There's tons of guys that have painted their interior.

Beat key is Preparation. Be sure and sand and use primer, then paint, then clear coat.

Here's some examples that I have taken from guys on here for inspiration.

Thanks for the great advise! And the idea pics as well! I really like the grab handles on the glove box and the speedo dash trim. Do I have to worry about cracking or flaking during installation with the touch up paint?
