Hey guys, just wanted to update some pics of the centre console work in progress. I also ned your opions on whether this would would hold up without clear coat? I dont want it to be too shiny, but I'm afraid it might come off easily without it.

What I've done: Sanded with 80 grit right down to the the plastic, then 220grit.
3 light layers of plastic primer, 5 light layers of matt black spray paint.

Before (Began sanding a small patch already)

80 Grit:

220 Grit:

After 5th coat of Matt Black:

I sanded over the chrome bit by accident, so I decided to paint over it as well. I'll figure something out there later.

As always, thanks guys

Thanks guys! Any idea on how it will hold up? Clearcoat yay or nay?

Hey guys.
Just an update. I did use clearcoat on the centre console panels at the end of the day. It's a bit shiny for my taste, but looks waaaay better than before. I will take some pics tomorrow in natural light, my phone's flash makes it look even worse.

I have also figured out photoshop. This one is very crude, as I had to enlarge and warp the image that I added - so you might need to use a little imagination. (The 1M bumper that we spoke about earlier in this thread on my car, with side impact strip colour coded.):

I think the real thing will look straight up awesome.

Im a fan of the colour coding, not so much of the bumper. I'd rather keep it OEM.

This.:chef:
On page 2 of this thread is the same one in grey. I really think this is the best looking bumper I have seen on any e46.
Really expensive though. Damn market driven economy

I respect your opinion my good sir, but I have to say I dont think the colour coding would work well with the OEM bumper on a saloon. I think the exclusive pack looks pretty good as is, but that 1M bumper really has me...
