I never asked about the G since I planed on leaving it the color it is to break the color up a little. They did the b and c pillar in my z for 30 bucks a piece, i supplied the material which is still cheap. They did a great job too.

You should have painted the air vents in the pillars! it would look better.

If your in the LA area i might be able to point you in the right direction. I know 2 places that work on our cars. One has the better name.

It actually looks really good in person with the unpainted vents. The vents offset the black just right....to me at least..I might do them though..

I used 3M 400 grit sand paper wet sanded surface , then rinsed with mild detergent let dry then applied several coats of Dupli- color vinyl & fabric flat black spray paint. Came out perfect. Remember when removing switch bezel be careful not to break tabs off from bezel . I used a nylon tool ,used for removing trim witch was done from the inside of seam of handle grip instead of outside not to mar plastic edge. Take your time.

I'm in the middle of doing this myself except my interior is stone, not black. The closest match I found was Rustoleum Painter's Touch Satin Stone Grey. It's about a 95% match and you can only really notice the slight difference in bright sunlight. Still an improvement over how beat up looking it was before.
