@ sweet i just preped the surface with prepwash(like a mild thinners) then painted over the top, it looks really smooth in the pics but it stil has the texture that the dash already had.
@yanna i started everything when i lost my liecience in August 2006. it took about 8 weeks to clean the shed out before i could even begin, but i wasn't hurring myself, as i only got to work on it one maybe 2 days a week due to work.
@benche i wish, i reckon it look cool but i'm not sure if its show quality.
@ YLD50L as for the seats yeh i would like some better ones, but for now i've got black velvor seat covers that finish it off really well.
thanks for letting me know what you think. its good to get feedback from others. |

IT looks relly good... no wonder it took soo long but i think well worth it. how much did it cost you all up?
The seats look alright with the covers on them, but if you are thinking of getting better ones the calais are pritty good and are the only seats which legally fit onto the existing rails with out too much effort. They should set you back around $500 give or take. But then again they are a different shade of grey so i don't know if they would go with the great effort you put in. |
