Finally decided to paint all my ugly silver dash pieces. I already have the door controls|w/e red. I'm wet sanding it for the first time to make it looks pretty close to factory paint job so wish me luck and I'll keep you posted and before/after, well only after you know what stock looks like.

All gutted.




Ready for sanding.


The materials

HAHA.....shards of mini sand.....who would have thought.

I haven't got to try the Back to Black yet, **** better work. As for the paint, best I've found in a can. And the doubled sided tape is what I'm going to use to stick the SS emblem back on, and I decided to take my front bowtie off and redo it.


I'm wet sanding the old stuff off because it makes the sandpaper last longer.


I just got all the stuff done and sanded down and I'll be ready for paint tomorrow. Also with the "SS" emblem, I just used a blow dryer and fishing string.

Got a few coats applied.



Finally finished.....

Re-painted bowtie, 2 years of sun whopped it's ass.












And before you ask yes I bought another AC module so if I sell the car I can swap it out so you can read it again, I only left the whole for the 3 small LEDs when you push the buttons.

And a teaser....I just clean the seats and conditioned them.



ENJOY!!!!!

 

Good luck with the paint, looks like you done a good job with the prep work.

 

Just started painting the pieces. I'm thinking 5 coats then maybe wet sand 1500 then a few more and wet sand 1500 then 2000, then start buffing. I will post up some more pics later.

 

Posted up some new pics.

 

looking good

 

Thanks, I'm up to 7 coats now, gonna let it dry for a few days then start the wet sanding.

WOW....wet sanding is a little harder than I thought, I painted my ECU cover a while back ago and thought I'd get some practice on that and damn it takes forever. Very time consuming. I wish I could have used a spray gun with some reducer so it would have went on a lot smoother.

 

looking good ryan

 

looks great.

 

Thanks bro.

Yea gonna take a while, I think for my first wet sand job I bit off a little more than I could chew. But I just gotta take it one step at a time and have patients.

 

looking good...great job so far...

 

Looks good bro, I just finished mine. Take a look at some pictures from this link.

Nice.

Though I wouldn't call our stock silver interior trim "ugly". I still have mine, and its still un-chipped and looks great IMO.

 

Well not really ugly, I just don't like it. To each his own. And I had a few spots where they were waring off, not to mention the tool pieces.

Can't view them boss, private profile.

Probably back where it came off of?

Yea, maybe, but I like the stock location.

 

looks really good, time consuming but its well worth it I'm tempted to take this one on myself

 

Yes very very time consuming.

HAHA $700 shipped.

 

aw bro lol haha i need to get a set

 

Yea there very very nice to have, they hug the hell out of you, in turns don't even move compared to the SS/LSJ seats or stock SS seats.
