im really happy with how this center trim turned out....the side grills look amazing too. the kidney grills...i did the slats matte black and the outer rings black sapphire metalic with three coats of clear, i love em!
here's a detail shot of the center console trim....im very pleased. i switched gears and did the shifter surround in black sapphire metallic as well with 3 coats of clear....i love it...the pics dont do it justice. i used PPG paint so is smooth, none of that orange peel look.
on a sidenote, my vinyl wrapping skills are growing exponentially. you cant even tell that the main portion of the center trim is vinyl, its so clean.
next up: brake calipers, RPI scoops and H&R springs painted a custom color...this is gna be fun.
