Definitely give us some shots of the completed work. This definitely has an "uncompleted job" look right now. It could look OK when done; kind of Euro or something. Not sure if that's a bad thing or a good thing, though. I guess we'll find out. Keep us posted!

That's what I was gonna say... looks kinda tight from the upclose pics.. but it's a stark contrast to the rest of the interior.

i don't think it looks as bad as everyone else in their responses. but the key is to match it to other pieces of your intererior...but i'd have to see it in person to determine...do you have black leather?

Dayyyuuummm! I can't believe you did that!! Whhyyyy??

I really do admire the flair
to try something rare
but nah...don't go there!

It isn't ugly, it isn't nice...it just isn't, well, a part of the flow of the car...It's like, "what was the artist trying to say in this piece?" you know, when you go into an art exhibit and see a painting with stuff splashed every which way...anyway, that's me...but just in case I am hallucinating, did I read that you are going to do that whole center console in white? NOOOOOOO!!!!!


BRETTALLICA!!! THIS IS YOUR FAULT!!!

Hold it! Put your hands up! Put the paint down and step away from the TL nice and slow-like!

Hold up now, dude! This is the OP's own doing. I'm not huge on going with the white in the interior (or chrome, Steve). I will admit, however, that I am intrigued by what this guy is doing; probably somewhat similar to your opinion on it. I would like to see what the finished product looks like. As it is now, I don't think "wow, this is hot" nor do I think "dude, that's nasty." It's somewhere between the two; perhaps "indifferent" or "meh" is the word I'm trying to find.

So take it easy on me!

Honestly, I think you should stop right there before you do anything that you will regret later. It looks terrible with the white.

If you really must paint it......that might be better IMO....... something to help blend with the gray interior...?


Personally I would have put the paint cans back on the shelf.
