How best to make these look less aluminiumy?

[GazHyde]

Managed to pick up a second set of hateful brushed alloy interior trim for £80 delivered - cheap as chips! Plan will be to get them recoloured to match the interior trim better. Not sure exactly what the best process would be...

I'm thinking getting them sanded down and then either spray painted and lacquered, or I could possibly go the hydro dipping route. As I will be keeping the originals then I'm tempted to go with something patterned, or a bit funky.

The other advantage of this set is they don't have the hole for the passenger seat ISO seat airbag disable warning lamp, so I get a cleaner looking centre console.

I'd have a word with @Sean d gaz. He's had a play at dipping his trim if my memory serves me correctly.

When I say funky @hard top, I mean like this artwork based around the Gears of War console game... Don't really do "hippy"

It was a sincere reply HT just giving a lead not my cuppa though but like the game franchise.

Fine @Althulas but it still looks like sh***.....

 

[hard top]

but like the game franchise.

Games don't do it for me but I do play Call Of Duty when I am (bored) or feel like it, not to often though.
