I started off cleaning the pod with a lint-free paper towel and some alcohol. Let it dry, sprayed 2 coats of Dupli-Color Gray (T183W) and than a final coat of Dupli-Color Gunmetal (T177W)
Here you can see the difference in the speedometer and the Edge mph read-out.

Ok, check out my gallery and give me opinions on this color.
I saw some duplicolor Vinyl paint HVP111 Charcoal Gray, at advance tonight and gave it a shot. Still does not match but does it look better than the original black pod? The cap looked much darker in the store
but the sheen is good.
Its in gallery under Mods.
\If anyone can post the two pics have at it. I forget how
