Painting center console/stereo

Just started to paint my siler plastic, Im doing the shifter cover first. Then see how it turns out then ganna do the stereo. But Im using SEM Color COat Satin Black.. and this stuff works great! I got my first coat on, and only prep needed is wash and light sand....
Im getting pics too.

 

Thanks! yeah, I might do that next. Im ganna use a Adhesion Promoter on those first though, just to be safe...

the biggest bitch part is ganna be masking off....

 

did mine a little while back and i love it. i did a little bit of red trimming to go along with the TRD theme. it looks pink in the picture but very much red in person. also did the shift console and the chrome trim around the shifter i did red also. something to think consider

 

and of course forgot the pic.....

 

Nice! what paint did you use?

 

Finally got it done! been working on it all day! But Im pretty happy with the way it turned out. Theres miner imperfections but not bad....
The center console cover came out the nicest..
Let me know what you think.....












Finished it all, and all back together....

 

looks good

 

Nice job. Very detailed.

 

Thanks! yeah it was a PITA taping off everything, theres some imperfections I might fix today, but otherwise it came out pretty good...
Now I just need a ipod Interface, and I will be happy.

 

Nice job! How difficult was it to pop off that center console? I've always wanted to do that kind of stuff, but was/am always worried I will break something?

 

the center console cover and the AC controls were the easiest to pull off. All you need is a butter knife. lol...
And then just sart from the front and pry up on it carefully. It just pop up. Verry easy!

 

damnnn looks clean!!! good job

 

Hey man, I want to paint the cover on my head unit too, mind telling me what paint you used?

Did you sand it?

 

Thanks guys! I used the SEM Color Coat paint in Satin Black. Came out nice, looks OEM to me and others.
I didnt sand it, but buffed it with a scotch brite pad. then cleaned it good. and used a Adhesion Promoter before painting.

I did about 4 light coats.

 

hey i did the same thing a couple days ago expet i painted the whole gray center consul shiter knob area.. if only i could figure out how to post a picture on here!

 

@ETaco23 Which adhesion promoter did you end up using? I know SEM has two different types depending on the plastic type.
