My MRT side louvers finally came in and spawned a nice little question for us to chew on.

Its a given that the outside should be painted to match the car BUT what about the inside?

The way I see it i have 3 options to choose from:

1. Paint to match. A safe and easy option but wont necessarily look normal from the inside.

2. Blackout the window. Recommended in the documentation, but not the route i want to go.

3. Paint the inside either black or light grey(my interior color) to make it blend in a little better, something not glossy. I figure i can do this myself with regular spray paint after i get the pieces back from the paint shop.

Number 3 was my own idea, but its hard to know what will really work best because you cant see it till after the fact.

Thoughts? I appreciate it!

 

If I needed to paint it myself, I would do it before sending it to body shop.
Then I wouldn't have to worry of over spraying the freshly painted louver.

What is the default color of the side louver?

 

I would ,and I am going to spray my black also(inside)

 

Its a light brown color.

 

Hi
Use dark tint (limo) on the back window then it wont matter what you do to the inside of the louvre.
I held on up to mine and you couldnt tell.
