painting

I sanded everything with 220, then cleaned and shot 3 coats of primer, then sanded the primer, cleaned and then applied 4 coats of satin black, then 3 coats of satin clear, will slowly get all plastic in the hoe painted, I know the power outlet isn't painted, the console we are building out of fiberglass will cover that. I also know I missed some spots...

Looks awesome, I would love to black out my interior but I don't think I have the balls to go through with it. That's a sweet ride parked in the driveway btw

yea that looks good! ive been thinking of doing it for so long but never havent found any good paint. what kinda paint did you use? i seen some krylon in the background in one of your pics, is what what you used? i wanna see some close up pics of the dash can u take some. did you get any drips showing?? i would hate to have drips on my dash if i was to paint it!

I used Krylon fusion for plastics(primer, paint and clear) No runs but I know how to paint, also there is a lot of prep work, I spent about 7 hours doing just my dash.

+1 try a satin finish

I used a satin clear. No glare cause it is a flat paint job.
