well alot of new cars have random panels painted silver and they look ok. It depends on the quality of finish, before the clearcoat it looked crap (i know because i had to put the car together so i could drive it up to bundaberg to my g/f's parents place for xmas) but after the clearcoat it came up great, looks like it was done in a booth but for a few minor imperfections...the surface is perfecltly smooth and i'm happy with the result

maybe im just used to seeing ppl do crappy painting on there interiors i guess.

i believe they are a hybrid style kit and require cutting to fit them (but might not require a fan blade retrim)

thought so, damn hybrid styles, i dotn wanna cut inner gaurd to fit the piping through. i think its illegal, but what other options do i have except buying a $2000 kits which i dont wanna.

and why did u show me that link for? :)

i'm bored so heres some crappy phone shots of my silver dash..ive just finished buffing it down after the clearcoat and putting all the stuff back in, pics dont do it justice it came up real good :)

2 words...Filthy Ricer :P

heya dave, glad someone likes my work :P

dan (elite dan) told me to use brake cleaner that worked ok, but i ended up using acetone (stole a heap from work but ran out) as it dissolves the rubber but somehow it also hardens it, then it got sanded, had a few coats of plastic primer, cut back with wet and dry, shitloads of silver vinyl spray, then more shitloads of acrylic clear coat, left to dry overnight before a buff with an abrasive pad, then some meguiars scratch x and finally a wax :)

you cant see it well in the pics but the clear is uber smooth, came up great!

but i thought series 2 dashes dont have the rubber crap to contend with?
