thanks guys. its been a while since i had the time to work on it like i have this weekend (since september eek) its in black now but i did it to show me the imperfections better and they sanding grooves came through the primer so its more work tomorrow to get rid of them before more primer and then color. originally i wanted to do all black but lately ive considered a touch of color??? right now my dash is grey with black around the driver portion and i was planning to do the top of the console including lid and back (center portion from front to back) in black and then sides in grey. my sons car seat though is grey with blue inserts and black base and my seats are grey leather with black accents on the plastics. everything else is grey so idk what bringing some more blue into the console would do or where else it might look good
