Climate control knob upgrade

That so could be taken in a very bad way.

 

You have light interior with a bunch of red-ass shit in it. I have black leather seats, all matte black trim, black control knobs and tinted windows plus a shell that cuts all sunlight coming from the back. I can not see those notches at all.

I think i may just drill a tiny dimple right behind the notch and put a drop of white paint in there, like on dice.

 

You guys make it seem there's 100 positions on the HVAC knobs and can't figure out where the settings are lol!

 

A tiny drop of white paint on a toothpick, touch it to the knob right behind the notch, problem solved. Although, surprisingly enough, the notch is pretty visible, but whatever works for you. Heck, they are a $12 set of knobs, not a $2000 lift setup...

 

Right?

 

Just installed mine and fits snug, no play . Guess hit and miss on fitment? Also scuffed polished part with red scotch bright so got the brush effect and not as shinny. Used paint marker from hobby store to tint the white orange . Match close enough for me.

 

This is the best execution of these knobs Ive seen so far. Did you tint them from the front or the back?

 

Thanks . Yea tinted from back .Got idea from op. He used modge podge and food coloring to make color . Was going buy but then saw this paint pen .

 

Gotcha. Thanks!

I like that the knobs match.

I went back through the thread and eventually found that post.

One more question for ya. Did you tint yours orange or red?

 

How did you do the vinyl for your trim pieces?

 

Tinted orange.Had orange and light orange. Kind of thinking light orange might have been better . This kind of looks red.

 

Thank you very much.

 

Covered the whole knob with a piece of vinyl and carefully trimmed the excess away with an Xacto knife. They turned out nice and precise, I think.

 

Did you paint the Temp control panel and center console?

 

Awesome, it definitely looks good

 

No, center console is an adapter kit to fit a 6" touch screen and I picked the black option.

However I did paint the temp control panel which was pretty easy and I think turned out nice. Used a satin black finish. Also did my door window control panels for the drivers and passenger side.

Going to do the whole center console for the shifter/cup holders next. Rustoleum primer/paint combo from lowes.

 

ok, cool thanks. Mine is Silver and think Im going to paint the two items for some contrast

 

Thanks for the tip!

 

Exactly why I did mine. Didn't like the silver panel with the black next to it... felt it just looked funny?

Also got the newer hazard/"clock" module because it had the black hazard light button and hated the shitty clock that I could never see during the daytime.

 

Any idea how to take the center console off? I'm assuming flathead screwdriver with some tape off the edges to pry it off
