PAINTED CONSOLE, need opinions.

[Hernandez]

i just finished painting the center console, i havent assembled the car yet but i want some opinions, my first plan was painting it a gloss black, but i wanted to give it a try with the 2nd gen look

should i leave it that way or go back to the original gloss black plan?

I think it came out great!

It looks good but i personally dont like the gray in my gen II so i have a woodgrain kit on mine.

could we not rotate the pics...?

looks good though I like it

im not a huge fan of the second gen gray either... but yours is by far the best attempt i've seen yet... maybe with the buttons on it'll look better.... I say try it for awhile and see if YOU like it... If you do go back to black, the finish is far from gloss... i wouldn't go any higher than a satin if your going for oem.... although seeing it in gloss might be interesting...

The result looks good. Try it and see how it looks completely put back together.

i dont want to put it back togheter because i have to use glue with some pins i broke.
maybe ill go with a golden-ish like the towncar door handles, or the satin black.
im waiting for my coils to arrive so my car is just standing there i can try it out

I painted the silver part gloss black on my door panel. I personally don't think it looks as good as the silver. I plan on changing it back in the spring. I think the silver contrasts with the woodgrain very well.

It came out good. I had actually been thinking about having mine on my Gen2 LS done in gloss black. My car is black on black & I thought it would look good if everything that is silver was black. I never got around to doing it, but I'm not very good at those things so I'm probably better off.

Id still like to see black center console on an second gen ls.

I did that to both my Lincolns Looks much better then the black. I posted pictures a while back when i did. About 2-3 yrs ago

That's a very nice looking gen 1 interior.

I did it to my Gen 1 as well.

Pretty much all the painted gen1 interiors in here look good - nice work guys!

I don't mind the silver and I actually really like the wood grain in my gen2 (which apparently very few do).

Prefer silver over the gloss black, thats just me though.
