I was wondering if anybody had a coin tray with a non textured.. or Smooth finish? My center console button area is smooth, and I currently have a textured coin tray.
Thanks!
Kyle

Hey 88 turbo... I cannot reply to your PMs becasue your have exceeded your message limit. That is the wrong piece. I am looking for the one that goes at the bottom... under my ash tray and switches... under the stereo. See above picture for the part that I need.
Sorry for the mis communication....
I have no leads on one of those.......

When you say smooth, do you mean to say that someone refinished it by sanding and then painting it, since I believe that it is made from cast aluminum? If so, you might consider masking your coin tray (the inner recessed coin part) and using 400-800 grit wet/dry sand paper, wet sand the "grain" surround to be smooth. I believe that piece is molded dark gray plastic and if you take your time, the results would be acceptable.
I am looking for a coint/tray molded plastic piece that has a smooth finish like the center console piece that houses my window and mirror switches. My switch console has a smooth finish and not a bumpy/textured finish like the picture below. I just figured this was a common issue.
I DO have a switch console that IS molded like my tray... but it has the round mirrow adjustment switch and not the Square switch like my current smooth one has. So I figured that there has to be a console tray that has the smooth finish. Perhaps I'm wrong??

Notice the texture on this tray... it is bumpy... not smooth. I am looking for one that is smooth.... If it is not possible, then does anybody have a bumpy one that I can sand down to smooth?
Kyle,
I believe the textured ones were used on '83 an possibly '84 models (not positive about '84 but Eric may know). '85 and newer had the smoother finish.

good info.... thanks!
I think I have one of the smoother ones you are looking for. I will check for you when I get back home on Sunday.
Sounds like a winner, thanks!
I'm pretty sure I have one to, I'll check shortly let you know.
I do have one. If you are ever in the area and feel like picking it up you can have it for free.
my 83 has the textured tray, and i had a 84 that also had the textured......
I can't find the one I have.
Deal!
