Finally!!

well after a little more than 3 months of unemployment i finally did something productive. I re-painted my interior plastics. i couldn't get good shots of the a/c panel and gauge cluster but i figured it didn't really matter. i think they came out pretty good. it took about 6 hours of stripping the old paint and sanding and let 3 coats of paint sit over night.

i used acetone and S.O.S pads to get off all the old gummy paint. then sanded it down with 80grit followed by 120grit. 2 or 3 coats of the dupli-color adhesion promoter and the paint is dupli-color flat black. paint code DA1605.
