Painting Center Console?

390 Views 5 Replies 5 Participants Last post by  Vee Dubb
Hey Everyone. I was wondering, Has anyone tried to paint their center console? or the outside mirrors? I have an '88 Fox GL, In the dark red, and I was thinking about painting the center console red to match.
Would I need to sand it? Or should I just leave it, and be happy that I will have two extra consoles for my car?
Any advice would be great.

My opinion is that it would look odd all smoothed and painted, no matter what color. (I shudder when I peer through the windows of some of the local Honduhs and see yellow or red paint globbed over everything plastic in sight.)
What I suggest is painting it with the type of paint that dries with a slight texture. Even the local wal-mart should have a selection of these paints; most of them are for exterior use and as long as they say they wont harm plastic then its all good.
