Painted my center console... thoughts
I wanted to paint my center console but wanted a different unique color. After seeing these pics, I decided to go with a flat color.







I met up with my painter guy and went through the paint book. I picked out "sterling grey" from a Chrysler/Lincoln shade I think, which is a slight shade darker than chile grey. What do you guys think?

Looks good! The steering wheel is very nice, plus the contrast with the CF components of the wheel complimenting the CF look wrap of the armrest on sides of the console. Very nice.

Adam,

The interior is black. I will not be painting much else of the interior flat grey, I just wanted to use it as accent color.

Well, the console came with some type of sticky spray so he had to strip that off first. Then he adds sealer, three coats of paint and one coat of clear
