how do you think it would look if i painted my woodgrain with niteshade(spray on tint) think it would be like a black woodgrain?

heres a quickie PS of my idea and i like it, if thats the way it turns out in the real world.

I don't like it, personally... If I had the dark interior like yours I'd wrap the woodgrain with carbon fiber or black vinyl.

That tint spray is a little too runny for my liking and I dont think it would hold up well on the woodgrain. so

I don't think it'll look like that, I painted mine in satin black and it came out good

I REALLY want the dark interior. Yours looks awesome Chris. I can get the dash, seats, and door panels, but I'd need a steering wheel and passenger airbag too which is not something I really want to mess with.

Hell I say go for it, if it doesnt work just sand it off and paint it like Black Ack,

Chris, I think I'm going to copy your idea on this one... That looks sick, plus I'm already looking at a bit of a custom dash over the spring-summer time to fix a nice scratch in my trim panel by a friend of mine...

I'd do it gloss black.

Thanks matt, I highly recommend it. I'm not done doing my 2 tone black interior, but there's a lot of options and parts you can do, so far I've done my woodgrain, vents, steering wheel trim, speaker grills, and door sills, I like the black a lot more than the woodgrain, never been a big fan

Thanks for the vote...the book looks familar, i'm willing to bet I know what it is.

Chris....the trim looks great, It would be cool if there was a way to turn the trim black bur wood. If i was the OP and wanted to, I'd give it a shot, and try, especially is he is going to paint it full black as a second option.

That looks really good black, i have been wanting to do something about the wood grain stuff in my car i cant stand it. i was happy when some crack head broke in my car and killed my wood grain radio bezel and found a new black one!
i think im gunna paint mine maybe a matte black or flat black tho

the book is a infomation manual for a cessna 172

vents and defrosters are already painted satin black, as are the triangle mirror covers

A pillars I'm waiting on because I plan to do a guage pod down the road, then they will become black as well

I knew exactly what that book was...hit me up on pm if you are a riddle rat.

sorry bout the OT

CLeanLooking

dont really go to riddle but i am taking their coures at seabreeze high as a dule enrolement type deal.

black are you going to paint the pillars where the seat belt connects to? i but my gauges down on the gauge cluster you can kind of see it in the pic. looks like your way ahead of me

the black looks good, but so far i like my wood grain

any update? did you try it with the nite shade? to be honest, i think it would work to darken it. it might not become black wood, but it would at least be a much darker brown as opposed to how it stands now. if anything, since its already off, if you don't like it you can always wrap it with vinyl or paint it over another color.

i'd nite shade, clear coat it after, and then compound/wetsand and then polish to make it smooth again. when it's a little warmer, i will take the time to try this.
