Painting Console Bits

[IGoGirl]

Hi all - first off I'm new here but been lurkin for a while so wanted to say hello.

Second, I was wondering if anyone can tell me or point me in the direction of a guide to be able to paint my air vent surrounds and the surround of my speedo etc. I want them to be the same colour as the car itself like in Aygo Fire and Blue.

First time I've done any sort of mods on a car (and I'm a girl ;) ) so hoping I can pull it off!

Edited to ask a 3rd question - I find my AUX needs to be played a lot louder than my radio or CD to be able to hear anything.... is this normal?

The C1OC has a few guides about this. I got an aftermarket rev counter which was grey but my Go! has black surrounds so I removed and painted it - took about an hour with plastic paint from Halfords and looks pretty good.

Can't answer your first question as I haven't done this, but with regards to the AUX question - I think it is normal. I find the volume has to be cranked way above 20/30 for the AUX, whereas it's much lower for the CD player or radio. Hope that helps.

Right, this I have sorted the paint and how to do it - now..... any clues how to remove the vent surrounds and speedo surround?

In regards to removing the surrounds, check out this article from my107 (I'm new here, so hoping this is allowed)

And when I'm using AUX the volume needs to be much higher also, so that appears normal.

Personally have the 2010 Blue that came with silver surrounds and prefer them over the blue ones.
