Hi All,

I was thinking about doing the interior trim to Piano black or Anthracite. But I was thinking to custom color it to some shade of black or matte black from regular titanium. Do you think the color will hold well in the trim material? Also if I do black which color code do you any of you suggest? My interior color is Beige btw. Thanks


Saad


*Update* Installed custom Piano Black Trim (paint shop did it with BMW 668 Jet Black Color) I installed them my self, Pls see pics

alright change of plans, just finished taking off the dash and center trim, leaving the door trims for now, it seems too complicated. Its on its way to a paint shop, coloring it JET BLACK BMW 668, hopefully will be done by day end, which is sometime in the AM Pacific time.....

* UPDATE* WILL TAKE 2 DAYS , IT NEEDS TO BE PRIMED AND SOME OTHER STUFF THE GUY AT THE PAINT SHOP SAID.....

I don't know what they do first they will rub the surface with those rough papers, then they will spray a surface color then they will spray paint then they will spray thinner or something , they will buff it out after its installed in its slots, sounds normal ? I am kinda getting nervous at this point,
