^ I know, and it's going back in for paint so I'm prolly going to have the door painted as well. I actually bought this of a member on here but he didn't prep it right and even better didn't tell me about it. The stress marks are starting to show so I have to take the thing out and sand it down and do it the right way.....But with that done and a new head unit it should look mint!!

Thanks guys. Sanding down the texture was a b*tch... and I kinda wish I didn't sand it smooth. I didn't mind the texture. ![dunno](https://my350z.com/forum/images/smilies/dunno.gif)
Gloss black would be too shiny/glarey IMO. I stayed away from gloss, but if I get sick of this before I get rid of the car, I'll try satin silverstone or something close to the aluminum trim, and add little scuffs to match the brushed aluminum pattern.
I'll see if I can get better pics later when I'm out in the light.

This might not appeal to you if you're wanting a different look for the interior. But, last week I picked up a can of Krylon flat black to fix I some bad scratches I had from installing my head unit. Its the typical Indoor/Outdoor variety. I sprayed it on a foam brush and dry brushed it onto my center console and on my cupholder lid and it was as close to perfect as you can get. So, if you were just wanting to go back to a perfect stock look, I would definitely pick some up, sand and repaint.

I want to do this on my console. Everything is sitting on my dining room table waiting for my LEDs and gauge covers to come in. I would like to do it in silverstone (like the outside of my car). What's the best way to do this? I don't want to screw this up. I like the look of DemitriHKS console. I think that would look sick in my car. Need to know what to do and what not to do. Thanks!
