Looks good, DJ. Just curious, why didn't you do the cubbies between the HVAC surround and the console? To me, it flows better if it's all one color.

Looks good, I've got several of my interior parts done in Seal Grey and I think it adds a nice touch. I would like to do the instrument surround but haven't yet. I tell you what looks real nice is to do the defroster strips up top on the dash, and the speakers covers up there and in the door, there is a little glare, but nothing that you can't live with and it looks pretty awesome from the outside looking in.

How did you do the 3 dash strips??? I can't get mine off to replace them.

Take care,

Mike

Also the fuse cover down by your left foot and the ignition rosette would like nice painted as well and would complement the other pieces.

i cant find the article, but those 3 strips are a btch to take off, and better not attempt to take them off, as you will not be able to put them back on.

a 'simple' way to do it is with index cards, just slip them under the strips, and cover anything you don't want painted.
