87 300ZX center console

Well the center console silver is getting really bad looking (I don't know if you can tell from the pic) but it is really rough looking. How do you think it would look red? If you don't like the red please suggest another color I could use besides silver. Thanks guys

Gunmetal, or just have it resprayed a nice satin silver. I think red might be a bit much, unless it was a really nice, dark pearl red.

Now that I have thought about it what about black. It would blend with the rest of it I am pretty sure

a satin silver would be my 1st choice
but black would be my 2nd

definitely not red

a few months ago i painted my sisters bike and i got some chrome paint for and fork but when i sprayed it it wasnt chrome at all it was a perfect satin silver it almost looked like brushed aluminum i think it was duplicolor but i dont know all i know is i got it from auto zone but it looked great

I know exactly what you're talking about. I tried spraying the grille on my old B13 with that stuff. I think mine was Krylon, but I'm not 100% sure, it's been years. Nonetheless, the finish was really cool. A nice satin silver, like the silver on an Audi's interior.
