color matched interior trim
well im still in the process of finishing this. i just started today and got pretty far. i removed the smooth grey pieces that run across the dash and around stereo. i just kept looking and thought, maybe color matching those pieces to the body would look nice. well i decide to do it. took some red scotchbrite and scuffed the parts, rubbed them down with tack clotch, wiped with laquer thinner, then hit it with epoxy primer. the paint i picked up from the ppg store and he mixed it as a single stage, which is okay to me, but i wanted b/c. i have had troubles with bugs dive bombing the paint as soon as i spray it leaving divits! so a lesson to be learned, #1--spray in a booth (i didnt want to build my makeshift one since it was nice outside), and #2--YELLOW ATTRACTS BUGS!!!!!!!!!
so anyways, heres a couple pics........
perfect gun stand there, until someone shuts the garage door. but also the pieces on the steering wheel will get matched too. i just didnt want to tear those off today as i have to go to work tomorrow, and the other ones wont be going in for maybe a week.

cant see the real color of the parts as it was really sunny and i had the camera on auto, so its dark. but im really liking it. i had to go for 100% color match though. im really picky. well worth the $15 for the pint of paint.
