Here ya go [MENTION=146351]Jeffufuh[/MENTION]. Just the center console ones right now. I'm going to paint the backsides as well I think. Since you can rotate them 360 degrees there are times where you could see the gray if you were looking hard enough.

Also some of the black paint has come off when spinning the louvers around (Where the louvers spin and rub against the honeycomb portion). Krylon Fusion said 7 day wait period before it becomes chip resistant. I waited about 1 day but the paint is coming off in a location you'll never see unless you take them apart so I'm not too concerned.

Thanks man! If you were interested in the products I used.

Dupli-color Sandable Primer
Dupli-color Cardinal Red
Krylon Fusion Satin Black

I didn't clear coat or wet sand anything. Honestly I'm not sure I even needed to prime but since I had a bit left I primed the honey comb portion (then ran out).

I'm not sure if it's possible to keep the paint from rubbing off where the louvers spin against the honey comb but that's something to keep in mind.

Wow, that is awesome!! I have already plastidipped the rings, but I think I'll pull them back out and do the honeycomb portion in a blue that matches the lighting in my truck. Thanks for posting, I really like that!

Washed her up and PlastiDipped my rear emblem. Next I applied all the decals I got from MoodyBlue: Custom Auburn decal in beige, 4x4 ghost skull decals, and beige B Ware Decal for tailgate (my name is Brandon Ware).
