Parcel Shelf Painted!

Does it smell like paint in your car? It looks like the paint was applied kinda patchy. My shelf needs to be recovered badly too but I think I will just recover it with fake suede and tint the back windows.

Yeah it looks that way but it's that wierd thing where if you brush a carpet a certain way with your hand it can go darker or lighter if you know what i mean... As I say, not a professional job by any means but it looks sound in real life.

I took mine out and sent to local guy here in my town. Thirty five bucks later I have new felt and it matches with c pillars. He charges 100 for the headliner cabin. This shelf is much easier to R/R

Who knows what the plastic triangle thing is for?

Do you know what material he used-brand, color, thickness etc. TIA

Glad to hear you went for it and liked how it turned out. Like I said in the other thread, the shelf I saw that was painted looked pretty good and I'd have never guessed it'd been painted.

Cheers Bubba - I'm glad I went for it too, much happier with it now! Hoping it stays looking good with the sun etc... Time will tell!
