Hey Phil, It looks as if you did a really nice job, and you did it yourself. I like it lot, blue looks sharp on black and silver.
I get more satisfaction when I do a mod rather than paying someone to do it, and it's cool that others do it themselves.
Make sure you put a nice hard clear coat on the consul area as to not mess it up with your leg rubbing on it or a coat zipper! If it gets scratched, you will go through the roof!
This looks better than my plastidip mod on my reservoir tanks!
That plate mod is sweet too, who helped you through it? (

With the exception of the instrument cluster, did the same treatment to my interior - only in electron blue paint. Sure wakes up the interior.
Your's looks very good.

Looks good! I really like the white face gauges contrasting with the blue. One question though, are the sweeps and readings on the gauges close to what they were before the white face gauge swap?

Wow.... talk about a bad color combo! Red and black is ok, yellow and black is ok, tan and black, blue and black....BUT BLUE and RED?
That's as bad as Pink and Orange, or Green and Purple, and to top the bad color combo off, it still cost a small fortune to have it done!
