Yeah they do a good job, but the Techart one is different. No clear coat, and it has a brushed texture like somebody used a hard brush when the pain was wet. As I have the other pieces, it needs to match.
Tarzan this one will be hard to find unless you pay premium.I would recomend get it the oem painted exacly how you want.The new technology of paint will allow shops to do what you looking for

Yep Gucci, hard to find... so hard that I got bored of looking around for the console and posted this 
. Ideally I'll find it. Option B is what you say, paint it as the original.
I am getting the car to first gen 996 Techart specs, original pieces so far.. a pain to find but fun

I have the OEM aluma package and wanted to get my rear center console painted the same. I spoke to Eric a few times about it and decided to paint it Arctic Silver like my exterior. You can barely tell a difference and it works well. Honestly if you look at the various silver painted pieces from Porsche inside your car, they have subtle differences.

As far as I have seen, they look quite different in real life. The Techart is rather dull color, and no clear coat, and with some texture. It has to be a pain to maintain due to the lack of coating. The others, look shining. If I can't find it I can always copy the original, painting it, or have somebody like Eric do it... if they can match it. But I like original
