What do you think?

I got crazy over the weekend and painted my gear shift cover. Not sure if I'm going to keep it or order a new one. So I ask you......What do you think?

Jeff









Tell me what you really think.

Wow, the paint job is excellent, but it doenst really go well with the rest of the interior.
It does have the white theme with the exterior, but weird inside. Maybe if you paint the wood panel white will make it better.

LOL, Guess I did start a collection. Car smells great without, just like the smell of the trees. Thinking of ordering a new cover Monday.

Black man. The white makes it look like a giant Ipod.

This is what I like about you guys. You think of other ideas that I didn't. I Never thought about painting it another color, AGAIN. I thought replacement was the only opition I had.

Thanks Green Monster

What did you use to paint it? The silver paint is coming off mine and I wanted to either paint it black or buy a new one. Do share!

I used a green scrubbie to scrach it up before painting and the 2 coats of paint and 2 coats of clear. After seeing mine I recommend using black or a new one.

It was just normal spray paint.
