The Mégane II Owners' Club

Hi guys,

I want to spray the centre console carbon effect bit silver metallic. Has anyone done this?
Car needs a bit of sprucing up and thought this would look good.

Was planning on giving it a light rub down, then spray primer coat, then silver coat, maybe 2-3 if required, and then a clear coat to seal it off. Should look better right? As long as it doesn't get a drip run or lumpy.
Let me know if you think its a good idea.

No your not lad, pull the other one.

What would we do without the resident painter?

Sprayed it up last night, left it to dry over night and i'll put it back in later on today.

Going to have to say, its very easy to get out and it took two coats to get a good even finish.
Looks 100x better, and to prove i have actually done it, i will get you the pics when i get home!! lol.

Not a bad mod for a fiver!

Picture!

lovely

did you also spray the gear surround?

Oh yeah, forgot to put that on here.

Yeah i did the gear knob top bit and the surround at the bottom, looks waaay better now .
I did knock it whilst putting it back in and theres a mark left on which i need to touch up, but its all gravy for me!!

Next thing is the dials on the dash, should be a bit of a bigger job!

looks well lad...

But could the photo have been any smaller?!

Never happy are we!!

No worries, i'll take a better one later for you all. It was a bright day as well and it didnt help.

I'm very interested in doing this. Yes some nice big pictures of all the work done would be great, please. Good job.

Edit - By the way the centre console bit, does it just clip on/off??

Yeah man...looks cool

Theres just 4 screws and the rest are clips. Really easy to get off.
Sorry i forgot to get the picture, i'll get it up today.

think i might do this, ive done the door handles the gear knob surround and the hand brake, not sure if doing the centre console will be to much tho
what do you guys think

Did you ever get those big pictures mate? Im quite interested in doing this myself... what sort of paint did you use?
