I know ION owners frequent this forum, and ionforums has less this on ot already. as most of you know, most cars have that nice little chunk of plastic next to the kick panel to rest your foot on, I am not sure if you guys know about it or not, but IONs now have a solution for this, it is called a foot rest, PN 10382007, available at your local chevy dealership. It comes as a foam block, then you find or make a pedal/cover for it. I personally have ordered one for $13 and am making the cover (probably a summer one and a winter one) out of some scrap .080 aluminum plate. I am currently trying to tint resin and make a resin covered pedal to match the stock look, if anyone knows how, please let me know. also, a related question, the ion dashes are a two material dash, dense foam rubber and plastic, I want to fill the HUGE gaps in the dash, what would bond to both and be tintable or dyeable to the dash color, and where do I get the correct color for this? (same question for the first one, too)

 

looks like u figured it out... keep us updated on the process

 

Lol how many threads are you going to start lol

 

pfff...at least he deleted the old one first lol

 

just 2 the first was a little vague so now its gone

 

I wanted to get it right, since I can (awesome that this forum gives you that option) I did. ideally I want one resin encapsulated one and one bare polished one. Both could end up equally impressive, we'll see, if I get the dash figured out, I'll be ecstatic. I'll let you guys know how it work out.

 

yeah good for you if you appreciate a dead pedal youre a real driver. I did that 2 seasons ago for my RL works great....I put it under the carpet cut and trimmed to fit with a pad....so need to cover it in resin imho

 

if I figure out how to make a colored resin and cover a pedal, I'll let you know

 

I am just blown away That the ion doesnt have a dead foot pedal....

 

and the cobalt doesn't have a dome light if you have a sunroof, WTF!!! GM forgot some simple things on both models, how is anyone's guess, as they are all things that would make both cars class leading vehicles.

 

resin+pigment = colored resin

 

the key is to find a way to do that without messing with the qualities of the resin.

 

im talking about the pigments they make specifically for resin

well, you should have said that in the first place!! thanks a ton

 

this is my goal, black will be raised, white will be recessed I have a 3" blank and a 2.5 inch blank, both waiting to be coated in resin, or I may try one just in resin.

 

nice
