I'm gonna spray a chatpad black to match my Elite.

Can someone recommend a paint that will match exactly, like the below picture.

Seen this pic online here but guy never mentioned what brand, colour, or type of paint he used.

I actually think a Modding forum woudl be ok, obviously stating that discussion of illegal stuff gets you a ban.
 
According to one of the replies in the thread :-

"dupli-color matte black. no special technique to applying it but if you are afraid of messing it up take it slow in light coats i just put like 2 or 3 coats with no clear on mine but if i had done it any other color i would have cleared it".


Thats standard aerosol spray paint like you get at Halfords etc.
 
Cheers UKBOY, was looking for this too. Now to wait for another job to come in so I can get a chatpad lol.
 
Did this today.

Prob a bodge job compared to some people but it will do me fine.

Good guide to disassemble chatpad here, its really quick & easy to get apart.

Sprayed parts black, i just used some spare general purpose paint i had in the garage. £6 for a tin of Halfords Matt black!!!



Its strange MS haven't brought out a black version.

Maybe demand for the whiter version wasn't as high as expected.
 
Halfords Matt Black is the standard for modders, I mean CUSTOMIZERS who want the Elite look.

:)

BTW Good job, looks nice and neat.


A good tip if you do plan on painting things though, Wet Sanding.

Ill pop up a tut later on on how to wetsand.
