hi there,

would anyone have idea as how to make the D3 look more like D2 regarding finish. the D2 is more of a grey matte color, where as the D3 is a glossy black. the matte gray matched my dash much better. any suggestions? i thought about light sand paper. any other ideas would be great.

Thanks so much

I thought about spraying my unit with a dullcoat spray, often used for model kits to reduce the gloss... not sure what the final affect would be....

hmm, thats an idea too. need to find something to test on. thanks tho.

Just be aware you will have to maintain a dullcoat finish. It will where off over time and start to look raelly bad. You will somehow have to remove the old coat in order to reapply a new coat and this wont be easy, so I think this a will not be a good option.

good point vblue

I got an idea buy the avic d2 instead of the avic d3 duh!

da I def would not risk ruining the d3 just get the d2

How about using a scuffing pads to give it a dull finish?
