Nice work Rob, quite impressive in my opinion ...
Like the use of the 6-pack too ...

Thanks. Well, the final polishing required a couple of glasses of port to get me going.

looks good. I'm thinking of doing mine, along with the center console and the black trim between the upper and lower dash. I saw it in a GT2 and it looks great.

I also started my interior. My first piece was the driver's side door compartment lid. It was already scraped up so I didn't really care if it was damaged. I learned that the soft touch paint needs to be sanded courser and then very very fine or it shows some of the sand marks. It came out decent but I'm probably going to redo it (with much more sanding prep) if the right side comes out better.

I did this and it looks fantastic especially since mine is guards red. Just be prepared, painting the strips between the upper and lower console is the easy part, pulling the old strips out of the dash is a ********************. I am just glad that the wife wasn't home to see my technique, especially since it is her car.

Acknowledging that it's artifact due to the lighting (or lack thereof), it looks like you painted the whole car, including bumperettes, seal grey!
I like it!

You're right. Now that I'm sober I realized that I painted the whole car! Maybe it was a 12 and not a six pack.

VERY NICE WORK ROB!
You did a great job, I painted mine a year ago and they came out.....decent at best. Luckily, I was having my Zeintop repainted and asked the body shop to spray my bumperettes while they were doing so otherwise I'd be following your lead trying to re-do the job.

Ain't that the truth!
The smaller strips on either side of the steering column weren't too bad for me. But the larger strip under the passenger airbag kicked my butt. I got so frustrated that I broke it.
Nice job RobZ!

Bumperette math
Just got my bumperettes back from the shop that has done all my Porsche painting for 25 years. They look great...as do Rob's.
My cost: Paint and Materials = $84.00
Labor 3 hrs. @ $46 = $138.00
Total = $222.00 
Less Rob's cost: = $60.00
Difference: = $152.00
Michelob Ultra = $6.99 + -
Rob's Savings........................= approx. 21 six packs
I did it myself on my muffler and rear speakers last week. Coulda used a couple of six packs from those 21 above for those two projects on my '01 Boxster.
