Originally posted by DR1665 I think it's a nice touch. Sometimes the littlest thing can tie a whole car together or throw the balance way off. It looks cool imo. So does your interior trim. I didn't cheat by using primer, I just got some silver spray paint and went at it! Now I think I will do it up the right way before the shootout, but after I get a new console in there after the involuntary weight reduction last week.
I didn't cheat either..lol...that was a bitch to sand those fucking pieces down to smooth. I used a mini Dual action air sander with 180 grit on the big areas, and hand sanded the rest. Then the painter at my shop sealed it, painted it, and cleared it. I just had him seal the piece that goes around the stereo because I didn't want to screw up the small tight angles of the piece...It will totally have to be done by hand. I will do that in the spring when I have time...then repaint it. I'm gonna do my ignition ring next...I think the ring itself is clear, with an orange bulb, but I'll have to check.
