jevansio Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 Maybe a respray in a matching colour would "lessen" the contrast between those pieces? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamesy Posted August 12, 2009 Author Share Posted August 12, 2009 Yeah maybe yor right. What about spraying in black? Im guessing that small top panel and gear surround are easy to take off? What colour would be best? Not silver? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jevansio Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 It would be trial & error TBH, the carbon has a funny effect (almost blue in those pics), I'd try some testers against it, 5 screws hold the upper odo trim in place, gear bit just pulls up IIRC (well mine does anyway ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee_e Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 jamesy.. how random of you having the same radio as me on another note looks great in silver, i have mine done in silver but needs a new coat or 2 from wear and age etc what would everybody say to having a dash the same colour as me car ? WHITE ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kev_A Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Best I've seen recently is someone did a matt black finish, looked UBER classy. Can't recall who it was though. I did silver on my last Supra (now Mark Newmans car) I plan on doing something a bit different this time round.............. Mine maybe?
