Hey all, don't check out or post on this site too often. Wanted to post this up for you guys to see. I've been in the works of painting a dash for a kid that I know. The pickup is a 2000 ECSB Silverado. Of the interior pieces, this is all that will be painted...
-Lower half of the dash: Glove box, fuse cover/end panels, dr. side knee bolster/panel, cigarette lighter cover, ash try cover and the middle piece in the center console with the flip up lid.
-Surrounds on the pass. side air vents
-Inner areas of the gauge bezel
-Door Panels: Speaker grilles, window switches, and door handle trim
-A pillar covers
The kid rides motorcycles and I have came up with a design/logo that will have his bike number and last name. Last night I had problems with paint fish eyeing on me on the A pillars and gave up on it and will sand down and start over again soon.
Also sold him my rear bucket seat and fiberglass speaker box along with my two JL Audio W1s and amp. The speaker box has already been repainted, did it a two tone with the color we are using and a SEM dye the same color as the interior. That is already installed and painted. Also this was my first ever fiberglassed speaker box I made. Built it a year ago.
Heres some pictures throughout the whole project:
First off the paint that is being used for everything
Wetsanding the speaker box
Picture of the speaker box and the bucket seats back when they were in my Chevy. Now in his.
Sanding on the knee bolster piece. Starting off with 120 grit.
All sanded with 120.
Went over with 180.
Got the glove box apart and other pieces sanded
Priming:
All wiped down ready to be shot
A pillars primed
