sweet i was in the store looking at paint ideas for my int also..i saw some stuff,it was KRYLON i believe, it was a grey HAMMER FINISH. it had 2 colours of grey in it. i was wondering if it would stick or flake off so i never got it yet.(with proper prep and clear coat) i was going to do the piece around the dash,the triangle piece that covers the rear view mirrors and the pieces around the door handles.i have 2 tone leather in so that was my modivation..

I love your truck and tastes of mods but WHY the white cluster?

I have the same paint scheme on the interior. I was in a rush so it came out a lil poopy. I re-did my Shroud when I did my DD install came out the way I wanted it to bc I took my time. I eventually want to black out the whole inside. Just gonna be a ton of work with all the lil nooks like door locks and switches. I wish they had ones in black. Ever think of doing any billet?

I used SEM looks like you used it too!

Looks good, a little too glossy for me though. Is that first picture after sanding or did your dash look that crummy before? If so it's a good thing you painted it. Also, I like your switches!

You can achieve Blue with LEDs for less then $20.

I'm dying for billet bc just seems to much work to paint all the lil nooks to match.

Sem as in paint...what did you use? Hows driving on a sunndy day

Paid $15 shipped on ebay as a show truck the white guages go over better with the judges

I basically just got the side pieces mocked up with cardboard, I will cut those out of MDF, then it is easy peazy from there. basically tack those to the frame, build frames for any acc, then wrap with tshirts apply glass, work it like a body and paint. I have a buddy that has tons of exp with glass though!!!!
