I'm thinking of black. Probably have a professional do it if possible. Either that or make the fiberglass gray belt line trim piano black. I need something to break up the monotone. I think a black shift boot and **** will help too.
TIA.

Not dying or painting the trim but CF trim!

I think it gives the Platinum interior a nice contrast.

Just came back from there. He sprayed dye. I will look for a wipe on for less mess.
maybe the belt line trim as black with a black shift **** and boot will do it if I chicken out on DIY dash or if it's too expensive.

I just found a site with wipe on Audi color match dye. I just might give it a whirl.

If you do this I might follow suit. Choosing the Platinum interior color is one of the 3 regrets I
have from how I originally ordered my A4 from the factory.
