Just finished repainting some of my interior pieces...

Hey,

This time I used better quality paint and clear coat on top. The color is Metallic Silver.

Before: http://images.cardomain.com/member_i...87_12_full.jpg
After: http://images.cardomain.com/member_i...87_13_full.jpg
Gauge bezel: http://images.cardomain.com/member_i...87_14_full.jpg

Peace.

Thanx

The amazing thing is that the paint dried out in like 5 mins between each coat!

Peace.

Glad to see you painted the climate control panel. Looks much cleaner with it matching, who cares about the numbers for the fan.

The thing is you can still see the numbers and all the lights!

I was surprized that the numbers were showing.

Peace.

I took it apart, masked off the heat/cold indicator and sprayed it.

Thanks!

PREMIUM RUST-OLEUM and the same kind of clear coat. I suggest you follow the directions in the back for best results

I didn't use a primer. Just spray light coats about 10" away from the pieces.
