id probly stick with grey atom unless you want to paint every panel in the truck with fusion...what are you going to do about the steering column? do they make them grey with no hole for the shifter?

i would like to find a leather wheel, but they want too much, even having the shop wrap one with leather is 2 bills. i think i will take the stock gray one and glass it and ptm or i will get another color and paint it, either way its more damn work, lol
this is from tycoz swap, they must make a gray one

Ive been going back and forth with this mod forever. The shifter console has been in my garage for a few months now. Ive even tried to sell it a few times. Those notes look great. I might try again

i was reading alot of posts and they say that a glossy painted dash pieces have a glare.

#2 would look pretty sweet though, it would looks bitchin, i think. way better than the red truck dash i originally posted.

just ordered 2 cans of the titanium metallic. gonna paint the dash, vents, and whole top of shift console. bottom of console is gonna be black or granite (light gray)

13 bucks a can for the paint.
20 for the adhesive promoter (had to pay freight on that one)
unsure on the clear yet, thinking on going with low luster clear or satin gloss, any ideas? i want the glossy look, but no shine.
