well.. if youve seen my car.. you will notice its black on black with more black.... lol. anyway. i was wanting to paint my "waterfall" center and gauge trim.

what im debating is color? im tryin to hide many minor scratches and nicks on my dash pieces.... but in a black car with black leather and rims.. im not too sure on color..

so.. anyone got any ideas? i dont want any cheesy tacky lookin crap. but something nice and clean. any pics will be appreciated and also.. any tips or how tos would be nice! thanks!

what about glossy black....hmmm

ljbetances

i will go with glossy black to keep the black theme going.... let us know with pics.

thanks

lil_will

you should color match it to the outside. That is my plan.

Neothin

i dont know... glossy would be my first thought, but the more that i visualize it, a flat black would look cool because it would match the black leather.

either will work :D

wood grain, cf trim or red just a thought

Chapman

wood grain is nice, but it would be awkward in a tC imo.

BuddhasTC

no wood grain...too luxury-ish and not tC-ish...CF would look good, Flat black would be nice and different, or a dark red

chaseonbass

I would go red.

so far I'm leaning towards the black. any tips or pointers on painting? I just sanded my gauge piece and I'm gonna use that one for starters so I don't screw up the expensive stuff first..

I got duplicolor acrylic enamel for clearcoat. is that good?

whats up melyn hehe, get some adhesion promoter as well and sand in between coats. I say go with an rs2 red looking color on the outside trim of the waterfall with BSP accent for the interior portion of the waterfall including the radio cover. just an idea! haha hope to se eyou soon good seeing you at the car show
