Did you have to take the seat out? I am working this right now and am blocked because my allen wrench will only fit the front of the three holes. I am heading out to see if I can find a socket that has a longer 5mm hex end, or maybe I will buy a 5mm allen wrench and cut it down....

I used Wurth silver paint and clear lacquer that I bought to touch up the wheels, over primer I bought at Home Depot. For the kick panel, I used some flat black enamel over the same primer. Decals were not affected by the clear lacquer.

Make sure you buy good water slide decal paper. My first try was with some laser printer paper I bought on ebay. It printed fine, but the images flaked off when the paper was bent. I tried it on an inkjet, and the ink washed off. Both printers used factory ink and toner cartridges, so that wasn't the problem. The next purchase worked perfectly on the laser.

I also used the same Wurth paints on the silver plastic insert for the shift knob.
