My thoughts exactly, a gloss black would look REALLY nice. Please change my order to that if at all possible.Tom wrote: Fri Jan 28, 2022 12:37 pmI missed this.... I haven't done one in black and will have to check if I have the paint. I guess because the bezel comes black(dark charcoal really), no one has asked for black. But a nice gloss black might actually look pretty good....BenQCarCare wrote: Tue Jan 25, 2022 5:29 am Is there any way I could get a gloss black one also? Happy to pay! I am just undecided

Wow, those do look great! That first one I did for you was a non-Porsche yellow. Try as I might, I could not get that paint to cover the tach ring well. So I ended up using a base coat clear coat system in true code-matched racing yellow. Even so, I had to paint them upside down for the paint not to run clear on the sharp edges. Can we see more pics of your interior, in particular the wood trim and shifter knob. I've always been tempted to get wood, and I've been mulling gear shifter options for my current car.
They look awesome in the car ianmcall, is that a Carrera S?ianmcall wrote: Mon Jan 31, 2022 3:14 pm Got my tach bezel today in racing yellow, and thanks for sending a matching chrono bezel as well, @Tom! Here's how they look together. Love 'em!

Bordeaux and Gentian heading to the post office.
The Gentian is hard to work with, but when all polished out it has a very cool deep-galaxy sparkle to it, especially when the sun hits it. Hard to capture in pictures, but pretty cool. I've yet to see a Gentian car in real life, but if the whole car looks like that, it must be stunning.

Here's a pick of my 2020 911 that I traded in recently (after a quick wash). Never got to see the color on a car before ordering it so it was quite the gamble but I really liked it. Hence it's the color I picked for my inbound Taycan. It is definitely a color you need to see in real life though and it changes a lot depending on the lighting.Tom wrote: Wed Feb 02, 2022 12:24 pm Bordeaux and Gentian heading to the post office.The Gentian is hard to work with, but when all polished out it has a very cool deep-galaxy sparkle to it, especially when the sun hits it.
