Over the winter I plan on bringing the door panels to my local body shop and having them sprayed torch red. I like the gloss over the 10th anniversary look. I was thinking if the center console would be over kill? Anyone have any pics?

Only Have a shitty phone pic but you get the idea, i did that and the gauges it adds a nice touch i think, don't care what other people say i think it needs it.
I'm still sitting the fence. For now I'll probably just paint the door panels and then down the road if I want more I'll paint the center console. Thanks for the pic. Anyways you can get a better shot of it during the day?
center console is painted on mine.......matches the door's dead on
this is the only pic i have.....but you get the idea

Holy crap that looks amazing! What did you use for paint to get it to look that "matte" red look and not gloss? Did you sand? I love how that looks :beer:
I really need a good camera
Yup I love it looks really good. My car was sold in Canada don't think there are many ones in km/h
It's rattle can paint you can order right from ford actually........I'll try to post up the can I bought for reference.
I actually bought a second console and painted it so I didn't ruin the OEM one.

You did a really good job masking along the crack of the shifter bezel. What did you use?
I actually bought a second console and painted it outside of the car.....
I wasn't 100% I was going to keep it in the car becuase I was super anal about matching the color.
I have gotten alot of PM's about the paint i used...so here is a few pic's of the rattle can I got from Ford:

What kind of prep are you guys doing on these pieces? Are you leaving the "wrinkle" finish plastic, or smoothing it with bondo/filler and sanding it back down to end up with a slick piece?
^ All you need to do for prep is make sure the surface is clean. Once you paint it, it takes away from the "wrinkle" finish and becomes smooth. I ended up bringing mine to a body shop, but I did some for my buddy and I painted it with a torch red spray can from autozone and then hit it with satin clear. It came out mint.
Here are pics from mine from the body shop, I had them do a satin clear.
I love how everything came out.

Looks great! just makes the interior pop in my mind.
It does make the interior look alot more vibrant, it looks really sharp.
