it was a mixture of primer/textured plastic paint/ and the color coat. it was all done in a mini paint booth. (my installer/friend has one at his shop.) so as he made me do the work he painted.

What head unit is that? Kenwood DDX512? (I'm sorta blind, I think that's what it says in the corner.)And does it have a nav option? I like the fact that the display is in red, that's actually one of the big things to me in searching for a double din unit.
