Painted interior parts

Hey,

I am seriously considering pulling my center console and surround and having them painted to match, gloss black.

Anyone have a pic of that? Center console and or the surround?

Thanks!

How has the paint held up? I've got some parts on my Lexus that came factory painted silver, and they're already scratched to hell (probably from my watch, but who knows)..

I have a factory console that I would sell for a reasonable price so you can experiment on if you want...

You could paint it yourself for minimal investment. If it doesnt work out, strip it and use it as your core with a place like bumperplugs...

It's not covered so Im sure it would be easier to prep...

Here's dark coloured pics of some interior parts





All my parts were painted by Bumperplugs.com and have held up very well much better than any factory painted parts I have seen on Infinity and Lexus and Corvette for that matter...

mine's yellow and i love it. it's so easy to keep clean that way!
i thought i'd get tired of it quickly, but it mostly goes unnoticed in the day-to-day.

Mine are factory painted to match too...along with my seat backs which I think should be STANDARD on all CABS!

but yes..it is a major improvement for your inside. It really looks classy.
