I think I remember a trick where you use coarse sandpaper and press it into Bondo or whatever molding material you're using while it's still soft to replicate the texture...

I was gonna ask how the texture came out. That sounds like an idea worth trying dark writer, maybe ill try it on a piece of plastic and see how it comes out compared to the console. It may be easier to put a LIGHT coat of putty over all the console parts and sand it down real smooth, then paint them all the color you need.

I found this article online that may help with the texture situation.

Automotive Interior Repair - Texturizing A Repair | Automotive Interior Repair with The Interior Guy

This still may be worth a shot. SEM makes quality stuff.

Ryan,
Man that rocks, really did a good job. I would be interested in what you would charge for one the same color. I even have a extra console that I could sent you, let me know.

I might actually try it one day too! I still have a bunch of the black paint the guy used to paint other interior parts.


And if you're at the SB cruise-in.....I'm gonna nit-pick that thing!

i love how everyone gives ryan so much hell an dhow he continues to make his car nicer and nicer and doesnt let everyone dicourage him. if yall guys gave me that much hell i would have been cussed someone out.

good job ryan and IMO you have one of the nicest verts on here.
Click to expand...

I was wondering the same thing, seem a couple guys always know better, then, like his first vert, as you see the work, they seem to disappear! I'll tell ya, both times I went into a showroom to buy a new 5.0, had this been an option, it would've been in both those cars. Great idea. Beautiful work. I'd like to see how it holds up under summertime temps, but, just, wow. Next, an infomercial- its not a console, its a Ryansole! For only 3 easy payments of $39.95! No more mess, no fuss, no muss! Has this ever happened to you(large Mountain Dew drops on hot chick in GT legs, she jumps as though electrocuted)? Your 5.0 can be as user friendly as your kitchen table! And it cleans up with just soap and water(aforementioned hot chick uses Brawny on cupholder Ryansole, big smile)!

I think slightly lower in the back and you will like the stance a little better. Might help with clearing driveways out front too?
