   Seen the thread on here about colour coding them an realised it looks quite smart. Looking to buy all the paints and stuff off Halfords now but got a problem as i cant decide what colour to go! I've got a Poseidon Blue Forte, planning on getting some new pedals, gear knob etc which will probably be in chrome. Dunno whether to go silver/chrome with the dash and air vents or stick with Poseidon Blue!
   
   What'd you lot think, what would you go with?

   imho id leave them black! I sprayed my vents silver, and i regretted it after a few months, i thought it looked cheap and tacky.
   
   If your going to do it, make them silver, not posi blue and its looks shite imo!
   
   The dial surround looks mint in silver though i have to admit.

   If your not sure about it mate, just go to a scrappers and buy some more vents and just spray them silver, no prpep or anything and put them in for a few days, if u like it then just redo them and do them properly like sand/prime/spray/laquer, that way your always gonna have your black ones for when u wanna go back again

   ye dont put too much chrome, looks tacky, also in my opinion the centre console only suits silver or black , but then only suits silver with a silver car. I kept mine black just to be on the safe side, i like having an all black interior

    mine are all blue, i like it though
    matches the seats, dials, leds, steering wheel
    everything is blue lol
    
    i think Predators are good, he sprayed them gloss black i think it is so they're really shiny, and then got alimunium bits on the vent bits
    
    looks really nice
