This part was flat black and had a whole lot of texture to it, we smoothed it all out. The guage pod ended up coming out great with a super high gloss. Im sure the owner will post install pics real soon of this and the other couple of parts he had done...

I've been getting a few questions on this so I figure I would post this up...
Core Exchange explained...
We have always worked by having customers send us in their own parts from their vehicle to dip. Over the last few years we realized that lots of folks dont like having their interiors gutted for 3 weeks. So what we did was, we bought specific parts that folks normally do... like Center dashes, guage surrounds, window switch plates and a few other misc parts as well for Scions, Chevy's, Fords, Nissans ect. We bought these parts so once you place an order, we can start on the parts we have in stock that you selected. It can be one or all of the parts we have in stock depending on your budget. We have to charge a refundable fee for the core parts we own (remember, you ordered but kept your parts in your car so not to look at a gutted interior for 3 weeks) because once we mail them, upon arrival, you will have 2 sets of parts... (the ones in your vehicle, and ours the ones already dipped and mailed to you) So if you decide to not send us back your original blank core parts, we have the money we charged you that will allow us to then go back to the dealer and buy those same parts so we can continue servicing customers that do not want to look at a gutted interior while their original parts are getting dipped. If you do what you're suppose to do in a core exchange, you will return the parts you swapped out for ours and mail them back to us for your full 100% refunded core echange fee.
So you have options :
1. Send us your OEM parts (avoid the extra refundable core charge fee)
2. Keep your OEM parts temporarily, pay the extra refundable core charge to keep your interior intact till installing the core parts we dipped for you, Then mail us back your OEM parts.
3. Keep your OEM parts, pay the core charge and keep 2 sets of parts.
I hope this better explains our core exhange, why we offer it and how it is 100% refundable. Its something we offer to our customers so your interior goes from ashy to classy once youve recieved the core parts we dipped... in minutes opposed to weeks....
If you have any other questions about the core exchange or Pattentek, please email or pm me.

I'd like to explore this option ... just purchased an xD, traded in my tC, and it's killin me that the gauge cluster is texture and color matched to the rest of the dash.
Can we .... say smooth it out, and paint match it to the center waterfall cluster, which I believe is actually painted Black sand pearl

Oh ok, i know what you mean now... The actual **** has a square hole cut out. The plastic part behind it is removed so yes, the light will still shine thru...

Nope... Those pieces are actually attached to the HVAC unit and that doesnt get dipped. Unless you took it apart yourself and removed the buttons but I dont think its worth it. We dip only the plastic parts... the entire HVAC unit is removed from the dash before we begin the process.
