high just finished colour coding my centre console,was undecided weather to do it alloy colour to match my door pillers/mirrors, think it livens up the dash more what you think?
cheers

Looking good painterman, thats what im doing with mine, when i get round to it, in ink black.

Looks great! I dont think mine would work in porto blue though

Looks really nice painterman

MattW i think porto would look good, and i know someone that has got a porto blue one already sprayed up. I can message him if you want, just the console, no buttons or anything if thats easier. I can check with him, he sent me pics and it looks unscratched, plus theres no damage to the fixings.

I think on the lighter colours the dash strip loses it's striking effect, if the centre console is the same colour. It works for me with the darker colours though, green, wine red, black, etc.

ink black looks fab

Thats what im hoping coupedummy i hope mine looks lovely

Nice work dude

Looks good - how did you get the horrid black coating off it to start with?

I think that Porto look good Matt - a friend of mine has done his in that colour.

I do honestly agree suba, i think it looks nice in porto, lightens up the coupe a bit, especially if you have black leather interior, i find mine so dark sometimes, being ink black and black leather (it doesnt like the sun ouch thats hottttttt)

Yep - the one I saw was Porto with Black leather.

and here it is fitted

painterman

was considering doing this to mine....deffo going to do it! looks spot on, nice work!

Well done Baz76, i think they look nice in porto, does definately brighten the front up a bit.

And yes MattW i do need a sunroof, and some bloody air conditioning he he he

They`re not pics from my Coop just ones i`ve found in my Coop interior photos folder .

Baz

I know yours is sprinty Baz he he he i was saying well done for finding the pics, i couldnt remember where the pic was i had a of a sprayed porto centre console.

Why did you paint the little "grill" between the two buttons (recirculation and aircon)? I think it would look better in black

That's really nicely done. I'm not sure any more....

If you have a sunroof you dont need aircon in this climate. Hot air rises, open the sunroof and it all goes out!

Tis looking very nice.

As other people have said how did you remove the rubber coating from the dash????

Nitromors

i used wire wool to get rid of the black crap on mine, then wet and dry paper (coarse/med/fine) only took an hour or so sat in the garden.

i decided against porto for mine and gloss would show the finger prints so i did it 'mottly' black (paint can in the fridge overnight) sounds awful but came out really well. just make sure you use decent plastic primer or even filler primer on top if its got any chunks missing.

Lookin very sweet painterman!Love the porto done as well Matt!! Any thoughts on Snotts green? Green or silver to lighten it up a bit??

baz-where is your radio?

Got one next to my bed,why??
