Spent way too much time doing cosmetic repairs to the shifter, boot, and trim plate on my daughter's car this week. But it looks almost like new. Shifter knob had peeling silver paint, all the leather had gone pale with hand oils, and the black trim plate was peeling and permanently stained in three places. This look took multiple coats and sanding. Black plastidip, metalic silver paint, matte clear coat:

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
