Painted Center Console

Well, I finally got around to painting the center console Ti Gray. It looks great! I'm putting a few clearcoats on it, polish it up a bit, and putting it back in the car hopefully tomorrow. Color matches the body very well! Yeah! No more scratches (my stock silver trim was scratched to hell)!!!

sounds good, can't wait for the pics!

Not the best of pics, as the rain started. Just a little before and after snaps. I'll get better in car pics later, but it's definitely a "see in person" mod. Pics don't do it justice.

Typical paint process....primer (wetand), paint (wetsand), clear (wetsand and polish).

Before:

A little wetsanding action.

A little polished, more followed:

Bad in-car picture.

Damn it turned out perfect! If I didn't know any better I would think it came like that wow very professional :7d3bf976:

Care to give some wetsanding pointers to me? What kind of sandpaper? Where did you find it?

Not what I imagined when you said you painted the center console. But it looks good. Hopefully it holds up better than the factory finish.
