looks nice Did you use any kind of clear coat? that should help with the scraches

 

they have black chrome ones on ebay

 

yeah it has a fairly thick layer of clear on it. i couldn't get the "gloss" look with out it.


yeah i dont really like the looks of those.

 

you may be able to get black. they have a non-returnable custom color choice, so i am going to call them tomorrow and see exactly whats up, but it looks like it is going to be right at about $200.

thanks for the compliments and info guys.

 

i think it looks pretty good

i painted some of my dash pieces some time ago (i cant remember when exactly, maybe a year or so ago) and they are holding up really well. sure they are more prone to scratching, but mine have a fairly tough finish. mine havent been damaged yet, and im pretty rough on my interior

 

would the other plastic pieces scratch too cause i want to paint my dash a flat black

 

when you did your's did you remove the thin plastic covering or did you just scuff it up and paint? also did you use clear?

just wondering, because i am torn between getting overlays or figuring out how to paint the door trim.

 

i think that no matter how you do it, unless it is a color molded plastic, with no paint, you will have scratching. for example, if it is grey all the way through, where it wont show as bad, it will scratch. i am hoping that mine holds up better, because of the amount of clear i used.

hope that answers your question.

 

check this link it has all the colors, im thinkin maybe red? or black? idk . .

but whats up with the special instructions, they dont sound good

 

thanks for the link. have you used them before? if so got any pics? didnt see any pics in your gallery. im gonna call them tomorrow and find out some details.

 

im not sure, but the pics inthe link earlier, it looks good. im guessing that it has something to do with the sides ( top or bottom or left or right )

 

im not sure what youre talking about with the thin plastic piece i did not have the wood finish to start with so maybe thats why. i had the plain jane XLT plastic which i sanded a bit and just painted.

 

im guessing that thie thin plastic cover is just on the woodgrain. thanks for the reply though. truck looks great by the way
