Right. wasn't sure if I should open a thread for this but I would love to hear the opinions of other fellow 6gc'ers.
I'm looking to paint my interior trim again. (it is red. centre console vinyl wrapped brushed aluminium) any suggestions or pics etc of what colour I should do it? or what y'all think would suit best? I have a black car with red leathers, red footwell lights and red led dash etc and a polished gear knob (soon). so lookin for a diff colour trim. was leaning towards thunder grey. will choose the color that gets recommended most! --------------------  "whoever said progress was a slow process... was probably talking about me" |

I just looked earlier and actual carbon fiber cloth is a good bit cheaper than the 3M 1080 vinyl. At least that's the case with buying off the U.S. eBay site. One of the carbon fiber cloths I found was a 36" x 50" square for $32 OBO plus shipping, was .009" thick as well. I'd imagine would be much easier to work with than vinyl and it's actually cheaper. If I go to redo interior again I'm considering it.
