Right. wasn't sure if I should open a thread for this but I would love to hear the opinions of other fellow 6gc'ers.
I'm looking to paint my interior trim again. (it is red. centre console vinyl wrapped brushed aluminium) any suggestions or pics etc of what colour I should do it? or what y'all think would suit best? I have a black car with red leathers, red footwell lights and red led dash etc and a polished gear knob (soon). so lookin for a diff colour trim. was leaning towards thunder grey. will choose the color that gets recommended most! --------------------  "whoever said progress was a slow process... was probably talking about me" |

Was messing with some fiberglass cloth yesterday and it's fairly thin, I'd imagine carbon fiber wouldn't be any thicker. It's thinner than the good vinyl, so I'd imagine it'd be easier to worth with in that regard.

Prices for a decent skinning kit start at about £45 tho. but theres enough carbon cloth jus to maybe cover the centre console trim properly. includes resin n all. but if it is thin I will keep that in mind as spray painting will cost around 50ish -------------------- "whoever said progress was a slow process... was probably talking about me" |
