starkie7 Posted July 22, 2013 Report Share Posted July 22, 2013 Never liked my black cube trim, too dark with black paint, black leather, black carpet and black headlining. Had plain silver trim in for a while but got bored with it and wanted something different. Tried gloss red which I loved but couldn't get the finish good enough to be acceptable so had a play with the cube trim. Really brings out the cube texture, looks like new to be honest. Would still prefer gloss red. Rebel, The_Judge_ and Rich_D 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chimp Choker Posted July 22, 2013 Report Share Posted July 22, 2013 Im liking this. Did mine last year as was ageing. Might do cream this year to go with a cream interior im afterSent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk 4 Beta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ilferco Posted July 22, 2013 Report Share Posted July 22, 2013 Like it. I also like the plain silver trim on a dark interior, breaks it up nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich_D Posted July 22, 2013 Report Share Posted July 22, 2013 I was going to do mine as it breaks up the interior nicely, rather than a sea of black, but luckily found a set of gloss trims in Silbregrau to match Rebel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bachu Posted July 26, 2013 Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 What paint would I need for my black cube trim, anyone done theres which could point me how to do if and correct colour ? Many thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebel Posted July 26, 2013 Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 I've often thought about this mod. My car is a sparkling graphite metallic with black leather and the black cube trim and although I don't hate it, it is a little dark. I have a titanium Storm gear knob and handbrake cover so was thinking perhaps a titanium type colour... hmmm... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been looking for a colour close to the storm titanium for 8 months now to do exactly this! Still not found anything that has a purple enough tinge. I *will* wrap/spray my trim as soon as I find the right colour! Each thread I see like this, where someone has done a top job, makes me more confident to do it myself. Well done, looks good Edited July 26, 2013 by JasonKruys Rebel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

starkie7 Posted July 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 Give it a bash, really is a piece of cake to get a good finish. If you don't like the colour or finish a quick wipe with cellulose thinners will take it off back to new. JasonK 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently there is a bloke nearby in Poole that does a pretty good job I will definitely give it a go, just so indecisive on the colour. The Storm titanium plate is a dark gunmetal colour that (on mine at least) seems to have a tint of purple! bosun14 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chockis Posted July 23, 2014 Report Share Posted July 23, 2014 Really like the way you done your trim. High quality work. I am planning to do my one as well, and currently doing my research on the process of spray painting the trims. Another guy from this forum suggested to first clean the trim, then apply few coats of primer and then few layers of satin black paint. Is your method quiet similar to this? Also should I put a coat of lacquer after spray painting? Thank you in advance, Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

starkie7 Posted July 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2014 Personally I wouldn't do too many layers as it reduces the cube 3D effect. On my first try I used primer but found it lost the 3D effect so I went straight on with titanium silver. A few months later and the only blemish is on the passenger door but apparently my wife didn't do it even though she is the only person who has sat in the seat! A few people have suggested giving it a light sand but that seems totally wrong to me as it has deliberate texture to it.

bosun14 Posted July 26, 2014 Report Share Posted July 26, 2014 Going straight over black with silver may have the effect of coming out a darker silver than you anticipated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
