Thanks. The radio bezel was starting to get scratched up( the car is 11 years old) and the whole interior was black so I thought I would just paint it to brake up all the black and revive the interior. Ill tell you though, to do it right is alot of work and sanding. I had to prime it several times and sand it to get it smooth like the paint on the car.

So I pulled it out and sent it to have it painted I think it was 200.00 to get it done , it really sets the interior off

Yeah I'm usually not a fan of the color matched consoles looks tacky to me but the silver is not over the top. Any other color would be way to much in my opinion

Really? It looks damn good for a sticker. I know WCC sells stickers, but it seemed kinda cheesy. Does it require skill to apply it that well? I've been wanting that plus silver Corvette lettering on the passenger side airbag. Those letters would complement the OP's bezel IMO. That and those gauge rings.

They are a little tricky to install but with a little patience it's fine. It's about the same as installing a screen cover on an iPhone if you have ever done that.

Sorry, I wasn't implying that you had rattle canned it. At Moto, I really doubt durability is an issue with body paint. As long as you don't carry knives and muriatic acid in the cabin, I think you'll be OK.

yeah it's durable, think about what the paint on your hood goes thru. The only thing you do to the console that I can think of is rest your arm on it or put a cup or cell phone in the cup holder.
