Has anyone done anything to blackout their tank console? I can deal with the plain look, however in the bright Texas sun the reflective texture badly glares in my eyes. Please reference the following pic using the camera flash as a simulation. Compounding the problem is the location of the glare is well below my sunglasses so shades offer no help.
I did a web search and found no console inserts that would fit my Road King. My original thought is to remove the console and have it powder coated matte black.
Otherwise I was going to attempt brush painting only the recessed portion of the console, to me the black/chrome contrast would look really sharp. I assume I need to somehow etch the chrome to allow the paint to grip? Anyone ever attempt this?
