Painted Interior Trim

dreamk · 10-07-2008, 02:21 PM

so last week i got my dark burl walnut wood trim painted the same color as my car Black Sapphire Metallic. i still need to get it wet sanded and polished but it looks awesome in the day or night! here are some quick shot. all comments welcome

do you like it? it looks glossy, i think it would look nice in person.

I picked nice (the trim is nice), but the need for our opinion on your trim is lame!

very original... looks good!

You should've done the interior in Piano Black.. It looks a little too sparkly in the Black Sapphire for my taste.

i wanted that color because my car is Black Sapphire, so it can match in and out

it has MAN sparkles BTW

You didnt use your existing trim? Hmmm I wonder if it would be worth doing a DYI... somebody did it to their window trim, spray painted it.. looked pretty good, better than the matte black vinyl... hmmm hmmm

how hard is it to remove and reinstall the trim?

some are easy like the one on the doors but others are a bit hard like the center console ones. mr.5 did a diy http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=137527

Definitely different but not bad. I would have to see it in person but it does not look to be over the top. Having Sapphire myself, I know how the color changes in different lighting. I would have preferred piano black or jet black, but if you like it, that's all that counts.

Yeah the trim with A/C vents suck to take apart. I was going to paint mine too but I just got carbon fiber instead. Your trim looks great!
