I am painting my glove box, speakers, silver trim, a/c *****, gauge cluster,and A-Pillars right now and I am waiting for the last coat of paint to dry on the speakers, trim, gauge cluster, and a/c ***** so that I can put the top clear coat on...

I messed up and had runs on my glove box so I took a little acetone to it and stripped my work off of it... Which this was a good thing because I decided to paint my A-pillars as well due to down time with running out of paint... My fiancee is getting more for me as wee speak.

So I used the following products for my car

++ Bulldog Adhesion Promotor
++ Krylon Primer (Gray)
++ Duplicolor Paint that matches outside of car
++ Duplicolor Top Coat

So, I think I am really high right now due to the fumes and being in my garage because it is cold outside and I am sick!!

But the thing that I decided to do and hope won't look bad is I left the texture of the dash, etc... Because I didn't want to sand anything... Have any of you just left it alone also? How did it turn out!!

I will post pics with the mod as soon as it is installed back in the car tomorrow sometime!! Thanks for letting me take some of my time away as well as yours!!

Something to keep in mind: Since it is cold out as you mentioned, it is best to heat up those spray cans before painting. Obviously don't use any fire to do so, a bucket of hot water will suffice, just dry it off before use to avoid dripping water on your new paint.

 

Another DIY'er...Congrats! Waiting for pics............

 

Hey guys... I would have got pics of my car today but last night I proposed to my girlfriend and today all day we had family pictures taken as well as announcement pictures for your wedding invitations!! I will post pics tomorrow, it looks awesome and I am happy with the results!!

Awesome, man can u also post pics of which cans of paint you used? I REALLY REALLY want to do this, but i have NO IDEA on which cans of paint to get.. I want to go with a navy blue, glossy black, or a silver for my dash pieces... so cant wait for the pics and CONGRATULATIONS ON THE PROPOSAL!!

 

Thanks man...Yea I will post pics of the can for sure... Also, make sure you get a can of the Duplicolor Top Coat... It will make it look better and shiny and last alot longer also...
