Any suggestions on what color to paint it.The bezel, tops of the console,window switch surrounds,and overhead console are getting painted.

The outside of the truck is pewter,if that makes a difference

This is the color I have picked out,looked for an hour at the paint store and came up with this.Since the iside is blueish grey my options are limited.



It is 2012 Cadillac Opulent Blue Metallic

I have $150 in the whole thing,35 of that was a pint of SEM interior paint.Local salvage yard has tons of them.I asked him about putting them on Ebay and he said it was too much of a hassle.The only interior parts they sell are the seat tracks,dont mess with the rest of the interiors.I have accumulated alot of extra parts from the last few visits.Gotta go back Friday and get a radio bucket for the new bezel.

Finally getting a chance to update my progress,really happy with the color.If I ever decide to go to a different color the hard part is already done.I done all the paint work and had my paint shop wet sand and buff the parts.

Also finished my headliner and pillars,bought commercial glue and sprayed it through a gun.No problems even with the heat we've had.

That's not an '03+ cluster, it is a modded '01-02 Esky cluster. Quite a few places around supplying them.
