Hi guys/gals, been looking at eBay, google, reading threads from 10 years ago here..., anyone know of a - how do I say this - non juvenile, cheap, cheesie, or otherwise ugly way to address some deterioration that is happening on the center console? I’d prefer just black, something classy, as the rest of the car is sporty yet still mature. When I touch the dash with say a fingernail, I can peel the top surface off. Bummer, as the car is pretty mint otherwise. Maybe some sort of sticker kit, not sure if painting it would be wise?

Anyone had any luck?

 

Many people seem to have had good luck with the RIGHT TYPE of paint. "JHC" mentioned one, not sure which it was but that was the most recent mention I recall.

You’re a pro Micvelo, I think I’ll look a little more towards the side of paint then, was focusing efforts on cover up. Some of those look good. Thanks!

 

Late to the party, the Krylon was great for armrests/hard surfaces. A friend used DupliColor for Fabric and loves it.
Imho I'd dismount the cubby door and try 4-5 thin sprays as a test.

 

Yeah I agree, and that stuff looks interesting, might be the ticket. I’ve been reading up the past hour on people’s paint projects. Looks like one can retain the oem texture even by not sanding. (Prep and clean of course)

 

Carbon fiber...EVERYTHING! lol

 

I agree lol. But seriously vinyl can look pretty decent as well.

 

I like that wheel. I'd love it is the top was flat as well so it was symmetrical.

 

Brian's is flat up top, this one is quite thick and it would block the gauges even more than it does already.

 

Wow that looks nice. Can’t tell in the photo but is that more of a matte red vinyl? Did it stick well with just a good clean? You’re happy with that vs paint?
I did happen upon a website Rvinyl that sells a bazillion colors, though I’d probably go with black aluminum or *maybe* carbon fiber if it weren’t too gaudy or cheap looking. I just don’t know if I like the fake look. I mean, at least plastic isn’t pretending to be anything.

 

Hydrodip is the only way to go...IMO

 

It's a matte metallic red. A lot of my stuff has dinoc as well which is the only fake carbon vinyl I can stand to have. The vinyl is nice but I did have to heat and use primer for some panels. I can take better pics of the dinoc if you want.

 

Shiny dash from hydrodip, no thanks I don't even really know how I feel about the shiny carbon yet. Don't like the glare.

 

Where's the "dislike" button? lol

jk. It's of your taste, not mine.
