Did a Little Painting Today





I'm still debating whether or not to paint the console piece with the ash tray and emergency blinker button.

What do ya'll think?

Not feeling it. If it color matched the car then maybe.

It was gloss black before (bad to paint it because when I installed the nav, it was beige). Pollen shows up like crazy on black, but the silver seems to hide it better - picked silver because I thought it looked good in Maximas.

And I have to agree with the 'less is more' theory. Besides, I'm out of paint

I like it only problem I see is the paint might reflect more light on sunny days.

I just used the Valspar spray paint from lowes. Its supposed to look like metal, and it does, but it actually doesn't reflect as much light as you'd think. It's also a lot darker than the pictures make it out to be.

Solid work, man. It looks professional, which is about the highest praise you can get.
