ok, i dont have the armrests tho they wont rub and i got an offer for a tan one and i was thinking of painting it grey, what kind of paint did you use?

 

I still want the KR top for mine ,, but fear the 08 kr leather would be too red so I guess I am ok

I found the same plastic fabric etc paint at my local auto supply place as I did at the Auto paint store ,, and they sell different sheen top /protective coats


ps the 08 colors are goofy ,, get what u can and paint it IMHO

 

ok ill try the local store, does it have to be primmed or should it be rather?

 

i used what ever bill at dfuser sent me like 2 years ago. it wasnt anything name brand but it was the right color. i recently bought paint from adam at first coast diesel performance when i bought my 4 pod pillar. it was just about spot on match. maybe talk to him or a sponsor selling the gauge pods since they typically have the interior paint and know which ones match. i personally would stay away from "plastic" paints and get a interior paint. be sure to prep the surface clean it and then do even coats and get a few coats on it and it should look perfect. also if you can do it where there is no dirt, bugs and wind that will help the final prouduct

 

nope. scuffing the plastic with the scotch bright pad is what provides adhesion to the plastic.

 

My brand had me use tsp incase the console had ever seen armour all

 

ok, ill have to look into that then thanks!

 

or how much would it be for the the grey plastic side pieces?

 

they dont make the 99-07 colors in the 08+ interior parts. both the grey and the tan colors are noticably off from our trucks. the tan is alot closer than the grey color. look up txfireman1972 i think he had a actual grey console and ended up painting it

 

prices were crazy when I saw the break out and it's the sides and back .. front

my last console I actually used the thin automotive carpet like for speaker boxes ETXC it looked great also

just a thought

 

And What Randy said the 08 colors are way off from the 07-
my wife commented on the tan and thats why I painted mine ,, I guess I have bad color preception lol

 

here is the link to the thread

ok so id probably end up painting it anyway then, i think the top part is tan though so id have to replace that either way..right?

 

? all tops are black unless it's a kr as far as I know

 

only way it would be tan is if it came out of a lariat truck maybe? if that is the case you could probably sell it and make some money back on the deal
