nomad pillar colour

[mattbolt]

Hey just my Nomad piller. Didn't realise it only comes primed.

What shade did you guys use on the piller and what sort of paint was it?

 

[David_smith_909]

didnt use anything, was already very similar colour to original

 

[mattbolt]

yeh its not too bad. can't really see too well in the light now. Shouldn't be too far off.

Was just wandering if anyone has bothered.

Mine was a perfect match to the rest.

Been trimmed now tho!

 

[mattbolt]

That looks good. where did you get that done?
Did you do the other side then?

 

[C3 LJG]

I retrimmed the A,B and C pillars recently in charcoal alcantara, I had the gear gater and gauge pod on the pillar done professionally but have done the rest myself.

Also trimed the headlining in black alcantara.

Before:

After:

Looks good. Gives it a totaly different look inside.

Thats what i wanted never really like the colour of the trim and headlining.

When i bought mine i noticed it was a slightly lighter shade from the original pillar. You'd have to be eagle eyed to spot it tho.

[mattbolt]

Mine used to rattle so i used double sided velcro to hold it down and to stop the rattle.
