I’m curious if anyone who has done the modification to the rotary shifter has successfully painted matched the mount to match the cup holders color? If so would you mind sharing a pick and the color name? I get that it’s black, but there are so many different blacks with different finishes. Just looking to save some $ and time by hearing what has already worked. Thank you in advance!

Do mutliple layers of filler primer to smooth out the 3d print lines. I got the similar brand of trim black but “ultra” thinking is more durable but it was a satin and looked really cheap and too glossy. Went to the matte and the match is pretty spot on.

You can sand in between primer coats. I don’t know if it’s totally necessary. Just Use a fine grit between the last primer coat and the black paint.

What about an adhesion promoter? I’ve been reading about guys who have used that product. Wonder if it’s necessary.
