[Exessive26]

I am getting the A- pillar pod my self, and I was also wondering which color? The color of that A-pillar looks to be hard to match.

one word ... search

Here's a quote from another thread (ganked from Unwound):

you gotta paint it! i got a triple pillar from autometer and i painted it with SEM color coat spray paint it matches the other pillars identically. the color is light titanium and the color number is 15353. i got this idea from a guy who did it on a p5 (cannot find the thread to give him the props). i bought mine for $6.13 plus shipping from Vinyl-Pro of Western Pa. (do a google search and you'll find the webpage). got it a week later and it looks great. unfortunately, i don't have pics.

Here's the thread:

The painting supplies I used came from www.eastwoodcompany.com and the stuff you need is part number 52042 and 52072. This gets you the cleaner and primer in a kit and the warm gray paint that matches almost perfect. Unless you put it side by side you can't tell any difference from accross the car.

i just got my 15353 in the mail today from Vinyl-Pro. they shipped it fast! i am working on painting my pod and molding it to the a pillar so no pics yet. but it seems to match up...kinda...the nozzle on my can is a POS that sprays in an uneven pattern but thankfully i have other nozzles to use.

 

[mypfizzle]

i got lots of nozzles.. fat caps.. skinny caps.. german outlines..... ohhhh.. heh.. nm *

 

[Dexter]

....wtf?

 

[Dexter]

well anyways, i just finished painting the pod. the color is a little lighter than the actual a-pillar, im hoping it will get darker when it dries. here are the pics

pod next to the pillar for comparison.

[Kooldino]

Dex come on out to Naperville, or St. Charles and take a peak at my pillar and see how it turned out. It's almost perfect. http://www.msprotege.com/vbb225/attachment.php?s=&postid=196496

The painting supplies come from www.eastwoodcompany.com and the stuff you need is part number 52042 and 52072. This gets you the cleaner and primer in a kit and the warm gray paint that matches almost perfect. Scrap the pod and buy the full pillar, it will look so much closer to factory. It's a new car, don't go cheap.

I have been thinking about painting all the pillars in the car black. Has anyone done this yet?
