I'm thinking of spraying the pillars black to go to with the rest of the interior. Is it that easy to pull them off spray them then put them back on? Will I only need to sand them a little bit?

Thanks

So you sanded it down a bit. Primered it then just sprayed it?

Iv read on here that some people sand it till all the bumps or grooves are sanded down till its smooth. I tried it on 1, took me a while and ended up feeling and looking like shit, so I just ended up sanding it as you would normally, prime it, sand it again, prime it, color, laquer. Done :) I didnt spend much time on them or do them best as I could but they all turned out well :y:

looks better to just head to a scrappy and raid 106's as the panels are straight swap and already black
