okay so i made a coustom switch panel that goes in place of the original plastic bezel in the center console. heres what i have so far but i cant decide if i would like it better if i painted it black, or just leave it alone (sand blasted aluminum). soo whats ur opinion?

Looks good but what are the 3 buttons for

drphyco 02-20-2011 12:01 AM

paint it. it will look too out of place other wise IMHO.

RicerJ 02-20-2011 12:12 AM

Unless you got other aluminum pieces

Id paint it, id hate to see the glare off that from the sun.

RicerJ 02-20-2011 12:56 AM

Id say leave it let the person who gets it decide

I'm just going to redo the entire dash with aircraft grade sheet aluminum and gauge and switch panels ripped out of an old military transport lol

RX-7racer 02-20-2011 06:01 PM

ok here it is in black (just quickly sprayed it), i like it better this way so im gonna strip it back down and do a better job. one more question tho, anybody know of a good textured flat black paint?

VTH makes a very high quality textured paint. but the piece must be preped properly

RicerJ 02-21-2011 09:49 PM

Well any surface must be prepped well for it to be nice

VHT is one of thoughs paints you must prep the way they say or it wont lay right, other paints you can short cut some , VHT is not one of them
