I use SEM high build primer and smooth it out to 300 grit then use the high build primer again but spray fromfurther back so the texture becomes grainy, once I'm happy with the texture I let it dry then buff it out out with my fingers, then paint with SEM satin black using the same method of spraying from a bit of a distance, then wait till it dries and there it is

Your setup is super. And I really like the placement of the detector display...very clean and functional. Question: What is the controller **** on the console panel?
