Hi all. I've been off the last few days and was looking around the web for my next interior change. I saw on BTs website the overlays for the auto gear boxes and thought I wonder if I can just paint it the same color as my hood vents.
I started by removing the chrome trim around the shifter. There are a total of 6 clips holding it in(w on each side). I used the smallest flat head screwdriver that I had and wrapped it in painters tape so it wouldn't scratch anything. Once that was off I noticed that the piece is just clipped onto the console. Undid those clips and out it came. Took about 10 minutes to get out.

Then I sanded the piece and put on 3 coats of duplicolor and a coat of clear coat. Then I let it completely dry overnight.

Took about 5 minutes to put everything back together this morning.

Ill get a better install picture this afternoon my phone didn't like the low light.
