Default Painted center console

Those of you who have changed out center console( which I think is weak link esthetically on my nat brown interior). Considering painting Macadamia to match exterior.
Anyway whats your experience with scratches and pristine upkeep? Too much trouble and upkeep . Is it worth for esthetics. Think it will be a nice touch. What say you?

The painted center console is a very nice touch. The car I have now is macadamia with most of he interior parts painted to match the exterior. It looks fantastic and is very durable. Only scratches are on the painted seat backs and they are pretty minor.

Fishdoc - email me anytime with questions - we might even have a 'deal' for you too on Macadamia.

eric@bumperplugs.com

Our 19 stage factory finish leaves the console in stunning form, with a 3-stage clear and absolutely flawless finish. Happy to walk you through it.

hey Eric -how about a deal on Midnight Blue Metallic? Ordered a few things with ya- thanks for the quality stuff with dension etc.

Thinking about what else would be complementary with black interior- both are dark so ?? Area around door pulls, pcm?

Easy to install and replace?

Cheers,

GS

Any posting that shows the step-by-step procedure to swap out the rear centre console? I.e. how to the side pieces off the PCM, the shifter boot up etc... Tx.

We often send the B&M instructions as well (and we sell the B&M short shifter).

German - Midnight would be stunning even on Black interior, as the flake and blue tint will be noticed. Email me anytime and we can try to work something out: eric@bumperplugs.com

We've also done a variety of silver treatments on dark interiors and can match your door levers (silver) if that is of interest.
