i have an Arrival blue SS and i want to paint the silver trim pieces blue on the dash...should i try to match up with the blue inserts ?or paint them the same color as the car?

 

same as the car

 

dont paint them

 

They would look good painted inhale. I saw it done on d_backer's car on our meet and it looked really nice.

 

hey, its his car. he can do as he likes but IMO i wouldnt. if he decides, i hope it comes out well

 

hmmm......i guess i could paint them and just see how they turn out.

 

does anyone know if the vent covers molded in or not cuz i cant tell and i want to finish it. it looks like they come off but when i tried they didnt, but then again i didnt wanna pull to hard and brake them cuz that would just suck so if anyone could help out it would be great. i know this question is dumb and very trivial but im confused

 

Maybe it is just me but I'd prefer to have the base model dash, all black and grey. The silver is getting cheap looking

 

im not painting them silver im painting them metallic blue

 

i believe they are molded in. you'd have to take out the dash and do one hell of a masking job to get them to look right.

 

thats what i thought but i was hoping that someone was gunna say they come out but i guess not. thanx

 

if your gonna paint the silver trim pieces make sure you do it right

 

i was hoping the vents came out so i could put gauges there instead.

 

oh they come out. it's called the stage 2.5 dremel vent mod. its pretty standard.

 

yeah but if you do that then you have to figure out how to get them back in without it lookin like crap so that means a really steady hand and i clean adhesive job

 

My trim pieces are off and getting painted this week....ill post pics this weekend after my HU install

 

 

looking hott

 

call it rice, but im getting custom carbonfiber..... but the person thats doing it is lazy.... (my best friend)... hope he reads this

 

looks good, i may have to consider getting mine painted victory red, the silver definately looks cheap. :

 

Ill post pics Friday evening of the rest after i do my HU install

 

I look forward to seeing the rest of the pics.

 

looking unhot...... dude, did you like read my interior posts, then like copy them..... im starting to think that, anyway, im matching mine to the car, 3 coats of paint, and 3-4 clear, your blue doesnt look arrival blue to me either....

 

oookkk....yeah you caught me i did......not. I never even seen your post about the interior pieces and yes my paint is arrival blue and the interior pieces match up perfect to the outside paint. My just used my video camera to take pics last night so yeah. Friday ill use my gf digital to take pics in the daylight. But if you dont think it looks good then thats your opinion but its about what i like.

 

see yours is starting to look good
cus your using the right paint, your puting multiple layers, and clearcoating it
ive seen some hideous paint jobs on the interior but yours is lookin good so far
