recommendations on color for dash

[embryoguy@mac.com]

ok so inside of my car is black with a few aluminum pieces. i do not want to paint the center console aluminum bec it would stand out more then i particularly prefer.

was thinking of something that would enhance the black but not stand out too much.

any suggestions? maybe a gloss black? just finished doing my door trim so now i have the itch to paint more

my car is white.

My .02 cents- match the inside door handles to the center console(if you want to have a black painted center console, just swap your inside door handles to the black ones to keep the gloss black theme going) and then maybe wrap whatever interior trim pieces with a black leather to keep it suttle and not too loud.

CF Hydro-dip. It's not that expensive and can be done at home pretty easily.

I bought some of that CF vinyl wrap and was not impressed with the quality or the finish, so decided that I will probably Hydro-dip my console and a few other pieces myself

I have not done my console yet, just plan to eventually.
I'm still all over the place with my interior. I can't decide if I if I like what I've done and/or if I should go any further with it.

My center console still looks like this:




The only thing that I've done recently are the three dash trim pieces with primer, base and clear:

That's exactly what I thought when I investigated it! I'll probably screw that up!!!

Job it out to a company that specializes in it and call it a day. If you can prep the pieces beforehand to their specs, I bet they'll give you a discount.

Your interior looks fantastic. Tasteful & classy. Just like every Porsche.

i ended up with a glossy metallic black for the center and dash pieces. i don't like it when the black buttons stand out.
