just found out that the defi pods arrive with a gray prima and not colour matched - how have people sorted this / what paint code did you use

Cheers

I have defi guages (they are great) and my supplier had the pod sprayed in a very nice glossy black (dont know actual code) as a contrast to the mat finnish of STi8 dash. However, the gloss finish is a mistake as I can see the top of the pod reflecting back off the windscreen, so ensure you get it sprayed in a mat colour.

Rich, I've just had a thought, perhaps you could get it flocked. Its not to everyone's taste but it would ensure there would be no glare from the windscreen. I believe its around £120 to do a complete dash so a little pod should be rather inexpensive!

I could get you the number of a 'flocker' if you are interested.

flocked ??????? dam Im missing the serach already what does flocked mean

Its the process they use on the WRC cars, the slightly furry finish you may have noticed. I'll try and get a photo.
Its also used on the old fashioned textured wallpaper so is available in many colours.

not to sure about that, thinking about a mat dark gray simular to the dash colour

I have the pod for a Bugeye and it is dash colour albeit matt but thats good coz it fits in perfectly colour wise. I wouldnt touch it, just put it in.

BTW not sure if its a classic pod in which case but i did see *Sonics* gauge pod last week and that seemed to match the dash

I have pics if you want em.?

is it the defi one, I have took mine to the sprayers to get it coloured dark gray to match the dash

this is the defi pod and they come in a very light prima gray colour - may be some companies sell them painted
