    CENTER CONSOLE MINI PROJECT:

    I went to AutoZone and bought a can of black paint for plastic items, came back home and began taking off my center console. I had one problem though, both my seats do not move forward so it was a BITCH getting off the last two screws near the rear ash tray, after a while I finally got the screws off, pulled the center console off. After that I washed the whole console down with dish soap for about 45 minutes, made sure it had no dirt, stains, etc. Wiped it one more time with a wet rag and then dried it. Now it's sitting in my backyard; I'm going to paint it tomorrow morning A.S.A.P. I might also paint those things on the bottom of the car when you open the doors, not sure what they're called but I hope you guys get what I'm talking about. lol.

    AN UPDATE AND PICS WILL BE UP TOMORROW

        Bingo! Those things. lol.

        No my interior is beige, and I've always hated how in the middle it's beige, I want it all to be completely black so it can flow much better

        EDIT: I also have 2 "Accord" emblems and 2 "Honda" emblems (the old square-ish looking "Honda"), anyone have some ideas on where I could use any of those emblems? I was thinking of putting the "honda" one on my center console right before the shifter begins.

                    UPDATE:

                    So I woke up about 2 hours ago and got started, my uncle had some kind of metal thing that I could hang the parts from and I started painting it. It's currently sitting outside, under the shade, completely black. It looks so fucking awesome! I'm going to recoat it in 2 hours.

                      took out my main relay and there seems to be NO cracks...hmmm. i did notice that there was some kind of brownish stuff on top and around the metal parts. do know if thats bad.?.? possibly might have to but a new one, or just resolder it over again.

                      pix suck...

                              brown thing = FLUX, a reducing agent designed to help remove impurities (specifically oxidised metals) from the points of contact to improve the electrical connection.
