Default Painted paddle's

Thought I would share my latest mod . So I had a wheel left over from my earlier C7 (14') so I took off paddles and lower "pods/switches", these that manage "Fav" and "Vol." sanded them down and hit them with primer and my body color (LBM). I did the bezel as well but opted for the CF version, tooo much Blue. I carried that over to the console having painted the aluminum section only. I apoligize for the lighting but when the sun hits those pieces it is amazing how much metallic there is in thi color...even out of. A rattle can. Cons, beyond having some vinyl versions made I was not able to retain the letters that are back lit when at night , not that I need them but wanted to share that fact before anyone tries this.
