dying a center console...

inphiniti · Mar 9, 2010

ok so im trying to do the cupholder mod here. i know someone who got into an accident, has an 01 or an 02, i forget. but his interior is gray? i have black/tan... how hard would it to take the gray to match the saddle tan? been trying to locate a parchment one out of an 01+ but so far all ive found is a 99 from another guy around here.

any input? really trying to stay black/tan as i dont have the minds to afford seats to match if i went all black.

Parchment does not match saddle, so you'll have to paint anyway. LRS has interior paint, and someone here said their saddle is an excellent match.

Mustang Interior Paint & Interior Spray Dye at LRS - Same Day Shipping!

I would use their lacquer paint on the center console, since it's a solid plastic. The vinyl dye is used for the softer material of the dashboard & airbags. I'd also recommend a primer to help the paint to stick. You can probably pick up plastic primer at your local hardware store.

I'm thinking of picking up an 01-04 console. I have the 98 console, but I keep hitting my drink whenever I shift gears.

My boss just painted the center armrest (it is a vinyl piece) and some pieces around the steering wheel (those were hard plastic) in an Aurora (he has a thing for those cars). He took the pieces he wanted to match to, of all places, Sherwin-Williams. They computer matched and mixed him paint for like 20 bucks.

I was unable to tell which panels he painted and which ones he didn't. I mean there was absolutely no difference in the colors of the two pieces.

yeah i saw LRS' product. I would probably have to use an adhesion promoter, which is what my buddy mentioend(hes a bodyman/painter by trade) .... just dont know if i should grab this gray center console to try and paint it our saddle. does anyone see this being a problem? i dont want to do too many coats and make the console darker than the rest of the interior
