p3eps Posted August 9, 2008 Report Share Posted August 9, 2008 In Europe we only get the choice of the F900BT and the F700BT. I took the F900 as it plays DVD's. The F900 is shiney piano black and the F700 is a matt finish. My car dash is a matt finish, and so is my adapter to fit the stereo (although a 'slight' different shade). Then I have the naff matt bezel Pioneer supply, and then the beautiful shiney stereo! Is there a shiney piano black bezel I can get anywhere that matches the F900's face? At least that would save me having so many different shades of black! I wish they did the F900 with a matt finish too, as it would suit my dash better! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HiFiSi Posted August 9, 2008 Report Share Posted August 9, 2008 You could always paint it yourself, to whatever finish you want. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
p3eps Posted August 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2008 A possibility I suppose, but to be honest I'd rather just buy one if I could as I'm not very good with a spray can! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CatchMeIfYouCan631 Posted August 10, 2008 Report Share Posted August 10, 2008 You could always paint it yourself, to whatever finish you want. how good would it look with a glossy frame and matte buttons? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chriso Posted August 10, 2008 Report Share Posted August 10, 2008 I used Rustoleum satin black on mine (the dash piece and not the unit itself) - I'm much happier with it - just two coats(4 hours between coats) no sanding - let dry 24 hours. Before it was flat black which really stood out especially with the high gloss finish. I've always used satin black for dash parts in previous cars. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
