Default Almost convinced/ painted pillars
I saw the steel blue with painted pillars and and love it. If anyone has an inferno red with them painted same I would like to see pics if you can post. I'm almost convinced to do it, but I just need to see it in my color before I bite the bullet. Thanks Gary

I'll be doing mine soon, if the weather gives me a break.

I'm going to use the OEM touch up spray paint. I've used it on some other items and they came out pretty good.

This worked fine for me when I painted my throttle shield. [8D]

I used duplicolor auto paint, but would suggest using OEM for something that has a lot of exposure to the weather.

I been thinking the same thing and I am going to paint my pillars too. I was going to go with the factory spray paint. My question is what do I use as a clear coat? Also do I need to sand the surface first? Is so what kind of sand paper (grit)?

To Gary04GT and PTGT Redman how is your paint holding up on the throttle shield? I must have screwed up on my paint prep because mine bubbled roung the edges, either that or the heat just ate it up... sorry a little off topic!

I have had no probs. Shield gets hot and soft, but no peeling.
I put a coat of sandable primer and then the paint.

No problems whatsoever with the throttle shield or any other painted part under the hood. Thought the heat of the turbo might cause some issues but it hasn't to date (6000 miles on car) and I don't think it will. However, I recommend that you do not paint or install wire looms near the rear of the engine (above the turbocharger) as there is EXTREME heat in this area.
