Would (wood) you?

what about a gloss dark grey that should work nicely... it will be a contrast to the other matt finishes on the rest of the interior and it wont be as the black i think it would be the best solution if you dont want to stain the wood...

I am not a big wood fan (to each his own though, and I will never diss someones wood trim), but I am not 100% sold on the matt black finish either.

Carbon wrap is a complete no-no. Again, I like it, but not on my car.

It's actually quite tricky to match something up with the grey interior.

Think I will experiment some more this weekend.

I was also thinking of maybe going with grey.

Like a gloss gunmetal?

maybe get a can or a sample of both then see how it matches the grey on the interior because pics can be deceiving

I would keep it wood, it makes the car elegant and sophisticated. Doing anything to it, is so wannabe boy racer (Danville)!

The black is perhaps a bit too much of a contrast with the grey, thinking a variant of grey might be a better option.

The black does look a bit too much with the grey....think that a darker shade of grey maybe a better match.

im still more for staining the wood because your interior has an old look to it and putting a new finish like that in it i dont think will look the best... what about a colour stain? that way you keep the wood but it will match better... i dont know much about wood stain but if you can get a grey stain maybe that will be best...

the problem with the wood now its it jumps out at you because its brown if you can get that brown out without making it too dark it would be the best :)

I agree with sand, stain, sand smoooooooth, stain, smooth, High gloss varnish (Spray painted), Polish.

Stain to almost but not quite black.

Lekker speel.
