Very Nice:thumbs:

etaylor14 04-27-2013 08:32 PM

Nice Job!!! I did mine a couple of years ago and it still looks great. I did the rear bumper also.

Boomer111 04-27-2013 08:52 PM

Came out nice. I did the rear but like keeping the interior on the plain side.

Kinda like Golfers shirts or Racer driver's suits, just to busy.

Ferocious C6 04-27-2013 09:43 PM

As tacky as the red trim.

Bluewasp 04-27-2013 09:56 PM

Pics of the entire interior?

Daviddear30 04-27-2013 09:58 PM

I like it!

Was it hard to mask it off?

It's my opinion. If you don't like it, that's your own opinion.
Welcome to the world, where opinions do conflict.

Opinions are like @$$holes, everyone has one...some people are them...

Typically we like to get along on this board, some people just find it necessary to be douchebags...

OP- lettering came out great!:thumbs:

Old Boot 04-27-2013 11:20 PM

Looks like it turned out well ,I am surprised it looks that pofessional. I see you have more red trim in the cockpit and Im sure it carries well.
And if C6 likes an all black car with no markings good for him also,he may ask us one day for an opinion and he would expect an honest one from us.
and thats all I have to say about that!!

Daviddear30 04-27-2013 11:24 PM

Maybe that's how he got the name ferocious :-). I'm fine with everyone not agreeing though

Same here. It's interesting, though, how some people are better than others at using tact when expressing dissenting opinions.

Here is a pre dash letter paint pic. What I tried to do is extend the water fall into the dash. The look is exactly what I wanted. I wanted to bring just a bit of the body color into the otherwise drab dark charcoal interior.

No not at all im sorry I didn't take more pictures in the process steps. The masking is very important so you don't get over spray everywhere. You paint the whole lettered area as a whole block. After painting the trick it taking a smooth cloth dampened with mineral spirits and you sweep in one direction across all the lettering to start wiping the paint off. You might have to do this 10 times before its all off the dash and just in the letter cavities.

Another view. The dash/radio surrounds are not painted its a paint colored removable stick on panel.

Garret 04-28-2013 12:34 AM

rattle can the dash...you are a brave man...

I should add. "dont try this at home" unless you are sure you know the proper steps and the proper paint and paint removers to use so you dont wreck the dash. :thumbs:

I wonder if you would be as free with your insults if you had to say them to his face? My bet is that you wouldn't. No matter how you feel about something, it's probably better to apply the 'to his face' test before posting.:thumbs:

I wouldn't have the guts to do that to my car. congrats on doing it well and to your liking. all mods are subjective anyway, so don't let negative commentary bother you. I like it, and als olike the fact its removable if you change your mind.

Nice job and thanks for the explanation, I am going to try it also.

PM me if you have any questions. Don't use Krylon or Rust Oleum paints on the dash. I used Kilz brand enamel. Testors model spray enamel also works well.

vet55 04-28-2013 06:11 PM

Well done! :thumbs:

gunnerjuju 04-28-2013 06:33 PM

Looks real nice and professional. I just don't have the courage to try it on my dash. What if I screw it up!

Scuba Ghost 04-28-2013 06:45 PM

You really can't as long as you use the right paint. The paint can always be removed with mineral spirits at any time.
