Painting interior parts to combine with JCW carbon??

Hi

I fitted some JCW carbon interior parts:






Now I want to paint some interior parts piano black to get a better match with the JCW carbon:


What do you guys think?
- Leave it antracite
- Paint it piano black

And what about the Tach ring:



- Leave it Silver
- Paint it piano black too


Let me hear what you think

Thanks

Maaij

Paint it black if you can it would tie in everything nicely. Just my opinion.

BTW it looks good.

It doesn't have to be Piano Black. A nice gloss black would work and it would look very nice. I'd ditch the silver, because that Carbon looks sweet, and IMO the silver is okay, but the black would really set off the carbon.

Go all the way! Jet Black would look great on the rest of the steering wheel, dash, and the door panels.


Pictures for reference at bottom. If you need help taking off the pieces, let me know. I would HIGHLY recommend having the pieces painted by a professional. I tried to do it myself at first, and it just turned out looking like crap so I gave them a paint shop here.
