Default Wood trim mod

Anyone handed over their wood trim to be recolored/stained? I have the typical maplewood and I'm going to try to hand it over to a carpenter to have it done piano black or ebony. Not interested in swapping or aftermarket trim

I wrapped my trim in 3m 1080 piano black for a bit, looked good, when i grew tired if the look i pulled the trim, removed the wrap, and reinstalled my nice wood.

I highly suggest the wrapping method for piano black

Search SoCalSC4 (Bob) he sanded, re-stained, and cleared. Turned out great.

Piano black has a very classy look. My shift **** is chrome with black piano finish

rVinyl sells kits such as piano black. Easy to install, easy to uninstall once you grow tired of it. Cheap, inexpensive mod. I wrapped my wife's IS250 interior in Carbon Fiber and the quality is superb.
