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 painterman http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f174/evoluva/IMG00176.jpg

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.

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)

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.
