I decided to paint Panorama X2 into full black matte for more discrete installation.
1.
Prepare tools for X2 disassembly
2.
Dissembled
3.
Remove printed logos. Talk gently to your wife / g-friend to lend you a nail polish remover
4.
Nail polish remover does not damage original lacquer coating on X2. So, for those who wants only to remove logos ( and not full body repainting ), then you can use nail polish remover without any worry to damage original top coating ( lacquer ).
5.
Use finest sandpaper to remove gloss from lacquer.
6. Use primer and black matte spray paint. Give time to dry between coats.
At least 1 coat of primer and 2 coats of black matte paint.
7.
Ready body details.
8.
Panorama X2 Full Black Matte Assembled.
9.
Installed in car. ( look from inside )
10.
Installed in car ( look from outside ). Nicely blends in with rearview mirror. Fully "hidden" behind mirror using THIS DIY bracket set-up.
