DIY piano black finish The piece was originally wood finish. Im going to let the clearcoat to cure for a week then buff it lightly.
(Tip: For best results, spray in a CLEAN, lint free room!)

 

Interesting... I just read a post on a European forum about someone doing similar upgrades on his B6 using Carbon-fiber like sheets by Underground Graphics : mon A4 et son évolution avec photos - Audi A4 - FORUM Audi - FORUM Auto par marques

 

LOL thats what i did...my trims are already wrapped, so doing a piano black finish on the radio/shifter surround trim takes a long *** time to spray, cure, spray, cure, wet sand, spray, cure, polish.

 

Took the liberty of enlarging the thumbnails on the posts.

 

Thanks Mike, I dont know how to post the pics like that. I just figured it out now lol

Here is everything installed and cleaned up. It's the best I can do on the piano black finish. I'm quite satisfied, and I know I can do better. I just dont have the patience to redo it again.

So orginally, I had a single DIN concert radio. I swapped it out by replacing to a double DIN cage, to a double DIN symphony Radio, the centre console, the ash tray, and the climate control. I also had to replace the shifter surround trim, as the old one was much longer. Everything was plug and play.

 

Looks awesome

Im thinking of doing something like this as the side trim panels of my car where the power window switches are peeling...

 

WOW!! Ya that really does look awesome! i'm going to get mine done for sure in the next few months!
