Had to do the gearstick and handbrake surround gloss, this is the PRIMMER stage at the minit!
would be rude not to

If it looks crap il get it flocked or coverd in my headlining perferated vinyl!





Im not doin the sides gloss like where the line goes thru the middle i will be covering this in the headlining vinyl!

I look forward to seeing what it comes out like, I did more door handles in gloss and they are already starting to scratch after minor use And this is with the paint hardening for weeks! I'd be worried about anything scuffing it really, but I think it'll look good when finished

i was goin to aks u were did the center console go lol

and there it is looks cool cant wait 2 see wat the finish will be like mite have 2 give this a ago

the dash looks realy top class were did u get the paint and how much was it if i dont me asking?

want 2 give it ago

Thanks buddy, bit of a tricky part to get right as when the panel is in plastic u cant see what u can see when in full gloss black like ripples in the plastic and some pull in's from the clips melted/formed on the revearse side so im having to block down the plastic and fill the lows in the plastic but im a spray painter for rolls royce and bentley so i do it myself but a local bodyshop should charge you around 150-250 depending on there time scales and products/ finish u require i think!

I think im gona have to be like mega careful wen driving and fitting back as its full gloss black

Im using Glasurit paint products wich are the best around as rolls royce use them so therefor we have to and the gloss black is a 2pac bmw code tinted to be be even richer, 5 types of black are added to get the finish, its VERY black and yes there are types/shades of blackness hard going but very worthwil i rekon

Hvent seen it done before the gear surround and that!?!!???

hhmm I think the centre console will be overkill, that's probably why you haven't seen it before, we'll see though!

Yeah it might be abit but im doin the whole back of my car gloss were i have stripped it gloss so want to carry it on!

If i dont like it il get it flocked me thinks!!

wow so this is super black and 2 be a sprayer for rolls royce 2 must be a top class job

around £150 for proper spray job sounds alot but i guess if you want it done rite.

really want 2 see it in the flesh now

ye tim you mite be rite little bit of over kill lol

Im just a sicko for gloss black me thinks!

Saturday will be a long day for me if i get time in the oven, all black in the back!

coming along well there, i always wanted to gloss black my interior trim on the 20v as it looks so cool. keep it up and more pics!

More pics as its all glossed and polished now, just in process of trimming the side now in black leather cloth!

Its so goin to work as it will center the whole gloss theme if that makes sense!!

[Pics]





Final polish up and fitted back kinda, just placed for pic!

wicked, will look so good when back in the car

ye that will look really good keepin the theme goin through the car

bit of leather trimming anyone, its called real leather cloth its compressed leather so is very workable and fine


Heres some progress pics n the final outcome and what will be fitted in the car,















Really happy i took the time to do it properly, and iv got a special summin goin onit that i have NEVERERER seen before

and my rear badge i got off ebay as for £10 quid it was worth it rather than me buying one and doin it myself lol!



What we all think? off both things??

Looks great mate, the leather breaks the gloss up nicely, has worked really well.

Is the rear badge black emblem and colour coded background? (hard to see from the pics), not a fan of the black.

silver emblem and colour coded background looks best IMO.

Yeah it worked really well, real happy with it now and iv got my headlining coming so im doin that aswell and my a,b pillars and boot trim in the perferated leather!

Yeah its silver background and gloss emblem!

Colour match is really good but the picture makes it look really off, took it at night.
Will get a better one in the daytime!

just cant wait to fit it all back up and be kinda done!
