VA Cupholder console restored - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

VA72C10 · 05-10-2012, 10:35 PM

This was soda blasted then prepped and painted satin black. Nice trim ring, nice cupholder insert, and good bowtie. Finishing up with black painted factory hardware or can do stainless for $15 extra.

275 shipped FIRM in CONUS.

This console has a crack in the back that I didn't notice until after blasting. Will not affect structure and won't be seen if used in a truck. Normally I get 350 plus shipping for these so the crack has been taken into consideration already.

Also you will notice two screws in the side. I left these in because of what they are...they are connected to latches on the inside...I believe the PO of this console used it to hide spare keys inside the console. I think it's a cool option.

Here is a picture of this and other consoles after blasting as I was prepping them for paint.

On some factory colors I use SEM...
also have used dupont for interiors sprayed professionally...

but on black...are you ready??? I use Krylon Fusion for plastics and spray 3-4 coats...

It bonds great to the consoles. It's very durable and I've used it to spray other interior items with success as well. I've used SEM black as well and I like the sheen of the Krylon better. I wish they had it in all the factory colors because I like how it looks and bonds to the console.

Jonathan doesn't Krylon Fusion leave the pieces to shiny?

I thought they (console, door panels) are supposed to be a semi-gloss to matt type finish? Just curious I have been on the fence about using this product for that very reason.

Thanks,

I agree on the Krylon Fusion. It is a perfect choice if you have an interior that matches their selection. Super adhesion (substrate must be properly prepped) and appropriate sheen.

Here's my latest console. Sold already. But can make another like it with either brushed as shown or a polished plate.

Nice work Jonathan! Sharpie

HeavyMetalChevy · 05-10-2012, 11:05 PM

dang thats a steal!

HotRod C/10 · 05-10-2012, 11:25 PM

I have used the Fusion as well with great results...........graining pads are my next goal on console restoration. I have used them before but the compound used is the real trick

CC69Rat · 05-11-2012, 12:35 PM

VA -- did you buy a soda blaster? Which one did you get?

Thanks,

Yes, the factory pieces are a satin/semi-gloss finish. Krylon has a gloss but came out with the satin a couple years ago and I use that.

No, I found a guy local who blasts them for me. For what he charges, it would be a while before I could justify the investment. Also, he's been bead blasting my metal parts as well...

I want that

ttt....275 shipped firm. Will be at Super Chevy this Friday and pretty sure I won't be bringing it back with me

CC69Rat · 05-15-2012, 08:29 AM

Black cup holder, not the billet one at that price correct? I was gonna say .. Wow!

I have one of Jonathan's consoles guys, he is really good at this. If you're considering it, go ahead and jump on it.

thanks, and yes, the black cupholder not billet

Billet ones go for 540. I have been thinking about painting one of the billet ones black and leave the cupholders stainless....might try it to see how it looks...can always strip the paint off and polish or brush it later...

Been trying to contact you for a couple weeks for a console. Not getting an answer. Im looking for an unrestored one.

sorry, keep meaning to take pics to respond and haven't. I will be around the house working tomorrow and will take pics then to make sure the one I'm willing to sell will work for you.

crsweet91 · 06-21-2012, 08:10 PM

seat belt one will be better since its going to be modified for drop in cup holders. As long as it comes complete Ill take it, some cracks and small repair will be acceptable. I trust your judgement, just send me your paypal info and Ill send you the money via gift. Shipping is to 94509. Thanks for getting back to me I figured you were just busy.
