White Trim pieces?

I have a Taffeta white CL and was wondering if anyone has painted their trim pieces white! I have started and painted the Gauge cluster area and was wondering if anyone has any pictures of it! Post them if you got'em!

white interior pieces in cars = ugly to me; no matter the color theme of the exterior or whatever.

But that's just my opinion.

wow.

the buttons being black and all the other things clashing w/ that bright white gauge trim are enough for me. that's def. not my cup of tea.

gl w/ your project.

i'll refrain from saying anymore.

I was thinking just the door, rear quater, and console pieces but that's just... not my cup of chowder. Wow.

To each his own and of course, it's your car but honestly, I'd repaint it all black.







No offense to the OP but it's things like this that always make me think... What's that gonna do for my resale value.

Oh no that looks like shit man...im not saying that to be a prick, but that does not look good at all...theres way too much clash there with the parchment and black too, its just does not fit at all. I mean, you may as well get those giant windshield wiper covers in white too.

Naaaa. Doesn't go at all. Had you had the Ebony interior, something veerrry dark and subtle (see charcoal, anthracite grey) Might work but even still it may not. Paint it back or change the interior to Ebony. Have fun.

I have the ebony interior, and just from regualr use, i've got some wear and tear on my trim pieces, i was thinking about taking them off, especially around the gauge clluster and the shifter and touching them up, or just re-painting it that dark greyish color, any recommendations on how to take off the pieces without breaking it? any special tools i'll need. thanks ahead of time for anyone that can offer any help.
