Painting interior parts to combine with JCW carbon??

Hi

Now I want to paint some interior parts piano black to get a better match with the JCW carbon:



What do you guys think?
- Leave it antracite
- Paint it piano black

And what about the Tach ring:




- Leave it Silver
- Paint it piano black too


Let me hear what you think

Thanks

Maaij

I'd make them all the same. When I was painting mine I left the Speedo and tach for last and they just didn't look right.
Damn tempted to mask off the steering wheel too but I didn't. Looks wrong TBH but it was a bit more than I wanted to get into.
