VCguy, I like it.
Now, what silver is that? It looks chromey... or like aluminum, kinda. I used 'metallic silver' and when i clear coated over it.........it looks gray.  yucky... watch out for that, make sure you test it on somethin else, first.

yeah it is a mettalic paint. the only problem i face with it now is since theres no clear coat over it, i can touch it and get a silver dust on my hand, (thats why you can see finger prints in the pics)

I used a brush that i shouldn't have used since the Tester's dries WAY faster than artist's oils.  I'm a dumbass.
You could use a cheap synthetic brush from Hobby Lobby.

My brush was prolly between 1/8 & 1/4 inch wide, flat brush. I also used a 5/0 Royal Gold (fine detail brush)
Before you paint around the icons, use an exacto blade and GENTLY scrape the white coating off (the plastic is blue underneath). Then paint around the icons, then you can go back in with the blade and scrape off any paint you may get in there.

:o `im curious as to how you got that piece of the interior out in the first place, ive been trying like crazy to get that blasted shifter knob off but i havent had any luck and as for the hvac part, how did you get that part to turn out soo good?? i need help on some of my trim too, i frigged up bad, and im also wondering how you got the things on the door to come out, the ac vents on the passenger and the middle side, and im curious as to how to get to the bezel, i cant disconnect that wire, i aint figured it out.

Don't forget the baby wipes. You can't have lube without the wipes.
And by the way, doesn't everyone have porn in the glove box?

Yes, I am...  And no, I'm not, that's what clear coat is for... it does add some strength and protection.
