Default Busy weekend (Painted Dash & Removed Pin Stripe)

I painted my dash trim yesterday, and the day before that removed my pin stripes!

Click the links to see pictures (and DIY steps). Here are some pictures though.



I still got more painting to do though, stay tuned. Oh, and sorry for bad picture quality, my fault really, I did a batch process to resize them and it applyed some other effects. haha...

Edit: I got the A/C panels done, along with the side vents.

Looks nice... I dont know why, but it seems like when people do reds on their dashes... it always looks way to subtle for me... But I am contemplating it... How would you rate the ease of the project?

Thanks =D

Hmmm It wasn't to hard, just a bit time consuming to get it right. And there are still imperfections, you just can't notice them unless you look real close. Darn that cheap dollar store sand paper haha. Couldn't smooth it out nice because it must have been a high grit (close to 1000) and didn't to much.
