LOLzzzzz!!!!!!!!!! It's textured graphite metallic, i'm going to repaint it with Dupli-Color black trim paint.

That is it, i had to mod it so it would fit like a glove.

Textured, glittered, sparkled, I don't care!! It honestly isn't the worst thing I;ve seen, and makes your nice stereo job stand out nice -- I was just confused when I say the original piece -- did you paint it yourself that texture then? You do the trim with a dremel or what?

Yep, they sell textured paint at autozone.
Used a dremel, steel files, wet sandpaper.

Can you get a close up of the bottom of the screen? I'm trying to see how much you trimmed off of the bottom of bezel.

I used a Rustoleum textured paint I found at Lowe's:



It's black and semi-flat- Intended for outdoor funiture I think. I sprayed it normally, then followed up with a dusting from about 20" away. It looks quite close to stock.
