Hey Gary
That looks real good. I used some from Ecklers it was crappy, I think it was bad in the can though. What you did looks good.

Signguy,

Looks very good. I'm finishing up my 1977 red interior now. (Using plasti-kote vinyl color) Are you going to spray any kind of after or overcoat for protection?

Can someone help me with a link to "wilcox" as mentioned in this link to the Product used. It does look like a near perfect match to some the interior parts on my medium saddle 74. Thanks.

Looks really good!

Was there much prep work to be done? I know I must have gallons (give or take) of Armor All (or simular products) on my dash, door panels, etc...will this hinder adhesion? What to use to take off?

:cheers:
