************************************************************************************************************************ CENTER CONSOLE REPAINT ************************************************************************************************************************
Well once it was repaired, I decided I wanted to go a step further. The rest of the interior was going all red and black & the darn Dark grey console and radio pod was really bothering me. I decided to go for broke and take them black too!
I noticed this paint by PlastiKote.
Now I had to get all that silicone rubber treatment that had been used on it for years off. I took to it with a red scotchbrite pad with degreaser on it. Scrubbed the surface to a dull finish. Then I got some dish washing detergent to further cut any oil or silicone. I again scrubbed this solution in with the scotch brite pad. Then a good hose off.
I let the part totally dry. This is what I was left with. Now I got the paint and had at it with a few even coats. It came out great with no contaminated areas. Looks just like the factory finish. Here it is installed in the car.
************************************************************************************************************************ RADIO POD REPAINT ************************************************************************************************************************
Once the center console was done and I saw how good it came out, I ventured on to the Radio pod. I remembered what a pain the thing was to take out and install with the new carpet, so I opted on and in car paint job. I removed the radio plate & radio. I removed the side vents.
I then carefully gave it the same prep work as the console. I dried it and taped off the AC controller.
Next was the vents that I removed from the side. I had decided to dose them in red paint. Now here they are installed with the radio and face plate installed in the car.
