I want to use a semi-gloss clear coat if I can find it.
There is a Mercedes silver said to be a good match but have not found it and so I have no comment on it.
I read that the OEM finish is applied during the moulding operation. If you study the parts this looks probable, as no overspray is visible.
I want to fully solve this before I attempt the final spray on my new modified bezels.
This is pretty much why I created this thread as it’d be nice, once and for all we figured out what was done and how it was done. I.e color and finish. I too have read about the finish being applied during the molding process. I’ve also read somewhere that there was a possibility there were other companies supplying the consoles, as they have the same part# but different finishes. So when ordering a replacement center console Chrysler didn’t know which finish they would receive. Confusing but everything about the Crossfire is confusing lol. Thanks though for the info hopefully more can chime in as well.
