Painted my scratched up center console

Picked up some Ti Gray spray paint online a few months ago and finally painted away this weekend. I think it came out fairly well. Not the best of pics, as the rain started. Just a little before and after snaps. I'll get better in car pics later, but it's definitely a "see in person" mod. Pics don't do it justice.

Typical paint process....primer (wetand), paint (wetsand), clear (wetsand and polish).

Before:


A little wetsanding action.


A little polished, more followed:


Bad in-car picture.

That looks great, very subtle.

I wish I could do mine my exterior color but I think it would look like crap being White. Maybe just do it silver like it is or try and do piano black.
