PIANO BLACK DASH COVERS
After pricing the piano black kit... and then seeing it i decided to have a go having it painted... a lot cheaper me thinks... after seeing the KHAN D3 done with the center painted it also looked great.. dont think its everones bag, but its very easy to do your self..il try and get some pics up, if not there in my gallery.

they've done, what looks like a good job. I assume that it worked out cheaper than buying a new kit from LR? but again how shiny.............. not my taste tbhIf in doubt............flat out.

Just as good as LR OEM in my opinion
and I do like the extra Black around the cup holders.
I used the brushed alloy trim from Nick.
So it looks a great job to be honest, and definately worth doing if you want the gloss black. LR OEM now costs in excess of £300+, when I bought mine it was under half that, and definately would'nt have bought it at the new price.
Job well done there

This thread has given me a great idea.
I had replaced my grey trim with the Brunel kit.
Was going to dump my originals, cos didn't think anybody would want it.
But, just reckoned I can paint it and sell on e-bay.

The Piano Black looks great
How resilient is the paint to kids / rings / watches etc..?
