so far so good, bits and pieces here and there, work is time consuming lol, but it will be done, and soon hopefully!

the paint idea is pretty cool guys, i would love to do blue to match my black and blue interior. also the homemade Tac mount is a great idea. i was gonna actually drill a hole in my "behind the stering wheel" glove box.......but i use it a lot.

thats the only reason why i didnt drill into my glovebox behind the wheel, i use it too much

dude, i wanna see some pics of that custom tach when you finnish it. it's a smart place to put it, cuz if you put it on the door pillar it's to far away from our clusters in the center.

i just painted my center console with my left over bayou blue metallic and clear coat i used for my eyelids. im not good at spray painting so it looks like crap. im waiting until daylight to see if i like it or not. :(

im going to have to sand it down and start over, the finish it terrible. but i like how it could potentially look!

oh, thinking that everything in the dash was just "pull apart" i stupidly broke the clips for th a/c controls so a firm push on the AC button and the hole knob will fall through... so dont do what i did.

normally I'd be the first one to cry "rice", but since it's well done I'd say it looks nice. not my style...but nice nonetheless ;)

Very good looking man, please tell me you atleast used adhesion promoter though?
Did you make sure the clear had UV protection, considering most off the shelf stuff doesn't.

If you just straight sprayed it, it's only gonna look good for maybe 2 years before it's time to re do it. Lack of adhesion promoter will cause it to peel once the UV starts getting at it also.

Also, RED scotch brite is the perfect thing to prep plastic. Gives it enough bite for paint to stick to, but small enough texture to fill with paint.

Seriously though, ALWAYS use adhesion promoter, it replaces primer and is made for this exact application. Primer is not adhesion promoter, it's to help the color stay "true" and fill minor imperfections.
