korpsepatrol Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 So i did my center console since it had burn scuffs on it. I will post my old interior set up at work tomorrow since I have my old pics at work... wierd how that works. The shift knob is the MOMO automatico knob which i bought from AKLGT The ebrake boot is the faux alcantera boot from redline which i bought from mines. What can't be seen and will take a pic soon is the STI Pedals which i purchased from Rommel. The painting process was quite simple took 3 days total. Materials used: 1200 grit wed sand paper Rubbing Alcohol (to clean after sanding) Bulldog Paint Adhesive (used as primer) SEM Texture Coat (idea i got from the HCA headunit pics where they explain the paints they use) SEM Trim Black Screwdriver (to take off center console, same steps as cabin filtration install http://www.legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1626&highlight=cabin+filtration) Piece of leather (to rub down the paint after its dry so it takes all the rough and loose paint off, i used my old ebrake boot for this) Filtered Mask (bulldog is quite toxic, as is any type of auto/spray paints) Beer of choice (can't stress this enough 6 pack is fine 12 is preferred) After the initial sanding and clean process i did the following: 1) Lay down three thin layers of the bulldog paint adhesive 3 min between each. 2) After 15 min lay down 3 wet coats of texture coats with 5 min dry time between coats. 3) After another 5 min of dry time for the last texture coat apply two wet coats of trim black paint with 5 min dry time in between the coats. After those two coats are done i allowed 48 hours for the paint to fully dry. 4) Rub the trim pieces after the dry process with leather to take off any loose particles of paint and dust. 5) Don't forget to drink between coats to reassure you that your doing an awesome job...even if your not..(i had to repaint the two side pieces cause i didn't catch it all hence the 3 days instead of the 2 day period) So let me know what you think! 2008 6mt Legacy Gt Spec B DGM - Not so Stock/Work in progress 2006 5mt Legacy Gt OBP - Sold 2005 5eat Legacy Gt OBP - RIP R.I.P Coxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomfohr15 Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 Your thread along with some others that I read on nasioc inspired me to do this myself. Here is my version. Did this the other day with Krylon Fusion flat black after sanding all of the paint off. http://dreamreel-productions.com/photos/stereo_install/console1.JPG http://dreamreel-productions.com/photos/stereo_install/console2.JPG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

korpsepatrol Posted April 14, 2008 Author Share Posted April 14, 2008 Yeah thats the thing i wanted to pull just the door out. I had to pull out the whole thing anyway but i just didn't want to paint it while it was still on the assembly. 2008 6mt Legacy Gt Spec B DGM - Not so Stock/Work in progress 2006 5mt Legacy Gt OBP - Sold 2005 5eat Legacy Gt OBP - RIP R.I.P Coxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomfohr15 Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 I unscrewed the ashtray and then took the door off which was kind of a pain to get back on with the spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

korpsepatrol Posted April 14, 2008 Author Share Posted April 14, 2008 I do believe those labels come off. The labels are not part of the face plate i think. 2008 6mt Legacy Gt Spec B DGM - Not so Stock/Work in progress 2006 5mt Legacy Gt OBP - Sold 2005 5eat Legacy Gt OBP - RIP R.I.P Coxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomfohr15 Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 Those labels do come off. They are just attached by some weak adhesive backing. Just use a flathead behind them and they pop right off. Other than that all of the buttons pop out with a little technique. The screens are the only things you have to mask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigT Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 Would look a lot better if the entire console was the same the way Tomfohr15 did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
korpsepatrol Posted April 17, 2008 Author Share Posted April 17, 2008 i believe i will be doing that when i get the cleansweep to install. Since it would require some serious wiring for my amp and speakers. 2008 6mt Legacy Gt Spec B DGM - Not so Stock/Work in progress 2006 5mt Legacy Gt OBP - Sold 2005 5eat Legacy Gt OBP - RIP R.I.P Coxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
