yeah, i thought the center would make it TOO red. plus, i figured it would get scratched up pretty quick.

With a properly applied clear coat the finish is pretty resistant to scratching.

It's even more resistant to scratching if you cover the high-traffic areas in stoneguard

i think that it would look much better if you painted the center console red, gauge rings red, and that cluster surround was back to black.

i did a quick 5 minute photoshop of it to see what it would look like

Damn Check this old thread out guys lol. Look at some of the novice questions we would ask back then when we were stilll green to the porsche and its boxster vehicles.

DJ, you've certainly come along way with your photoshop skills since 2006 lol. That center console looks like a Honda DOHC vtec valve cover

Where do you guys buy the Stoneguard to cover your interior pieces. I have a factory Arctic Silver center console but I still wouldnt mind protecting it from scratches even though it's not paint.

As for the Paintscratch paint that you guys buy, how much paint is needed according to your experiences. I would like to maybe paint my radio trim pieces and the rollbars. Do you also buy clearcoat from paintscratch or does any clearcoat work?

Thanks guys
