Looking good, just bought the enamel paint yellow and black to do the same. And also the alcantara gaitor with yellow stitches is on the way for delivery.

Planning to color the seat stripes in yellow with leather paint.

Looking forward to your finished central console with yellow ones done

Reinstalled the centre panel with yellow switch and with the new yellow stitched gaiter.

I’m pretty happy with his it’s starting to look.

I really like this. I wish they would have just went with yellow from the factory. Matched to exterior paint color would have been a cool option too. Perhaps they'll do that on Chapman spec cars.

Looks great but did the aluminum trim always have the scratch on the right side? Or maybe it is a hair
Small scratch… not sure where/when from but I’m pretty sure it won’t be the last one!

What did you paint your knob with? Any more pics?
I used this paint. It goes on quite thin so I did about 6 coats and it came out well.


I think it’s a good match for the callipers however the seat belts are a yellowier / deeper shade. So ideally I’d have potentially used a different shade.

That is so sad that it was a welded piece... cheap design aspect!
I agree it looks cheap and it could have been a great option to have something better like a Lambo Huracan. I would remove it if I was sure it wouldn't leave some damage showing. I looked at the link to the other buttons but it is just the button and not the cover.
