spraying interior

Post by GHOST »

I'm looking to smarten up the dull black plastic on the three piece center console but I don't want to make it look cheap. So any pictures of gloss black or dark gunmetal grey sprayed interiors to give me an idea?

Have you considered vinyle wrap, easily changed or removed later.

Or hydro dipping

I did this to a spare set of dash plastics on my old rev5... Lucern Silver rather than black or gunmetal. I thought it looked OK at the time, but I wouldn't do it again.

Vinyl wrapping is probably your best bet. As said it can be removed if unpleasant or fancy a change. I'd personally have something satin or matte to keep it uniform to the interior.
