   Spayed my center console white today to match with my alloys. My alloys were silver before and so was the console. So i decided to colour code my interior. Just thought i'd share the piccys with you
   
   Sanded down from the grimey silver colour:

    I was thinking a white centre consol wouldnt work too well but I take that back I think it looks so good, and with you white alloys too that is a smart saxo you must be pretty chuffed and its a good feeling when you've done something yourself too

    what did you use to sand it? How many coats of primer and paint you put on? I want to do mine white as i got white vts alloys but haven't had the bottle to spray my console. Looks well smart!

    Well i tend to do things spur of the moment, i had left over paint and primer from when i sprayed my alloys so i thought fuck it i'll do my center console. Sanded it down with wet and dry just to key it up, sprayed about 4 coats of primer, just enuf to like cover it all, waited a few hours, sprayed about 4-5 coats (off the top of my head) left it to dry for a few hours and put it back in. Supost to leave for 24 hours but fuck that haha.
