Interior work

So, I finally got around to a little project I've wanted to do for a while. I painted my console and dash parts. I know many of you are groaning at the mention, but I think it can look good if done right (no bright red, yellow, etc.). I used base/clear polyurethane I had for my other car - town car. I like the way it turned out. The existing plastic was faded into different, clashing shades of gray and green. Ugly ****.

Looks good! You should do the pieces around the door openers too.

Not too shabby! Makes the rest of your interior look................ not good, though.

I know! I plan to wrap the dash in leather, the door panels in leather and black suede. I have an overall plan, but it will take some time to come to fruition.

I hear ya.. I've been doing some minor interior work myself. Black plastic with tan carpets and tan door panels. I'll post pics when I get a chunk done. I need a dash mat though. Can't see **** out of the windshield when the sun is on it. And I haven't armorall'd it in quite a while either.
