Default Painting center console ?

i have an all black interior and would like to break up the monotony a bit and add some contrast. Has anyone painted the console and if so, any DIY steps or videos out there ? Would like to match arctic silver exterior. Haven't had much luck searching for replacement consoles on eBay. Thanks all

Another option is thru bumperplugs.com console painting with core exchange.

That's what I did for my 997. It came out great!

you can take it to a body shop and have them paint it. Tell them you want it smooth like a body part. dont leave it textured like the origional softtouch

I did the bumperplugs console in guards red in my blk/blk turbo. Also did the seat belts in red. The interior needed some color.

That Speed yellow is just a gorgeous color! Why they ever changed it I'll never know!

Has anyone used bumperplugs.com recently?

his seems like easiest option, and you just swap no down time during prep and paint.

Hami, just sent PM.

Sorry we've been AWOL guys....just busy as hell in the shop, and we spent a lot of time making some tweaks to our process (more stages to the paint now), and our new website launched last month! Been crazy around here, but we love it. Reach out anytime at info@bumperplugs.com, and check out the new digs HERE.

Eric did mine, and I highly recommend em. A few years later and it still looks great and has done a great job refreshing the interior (Meteor Grey).
