Did you paint the AC vents too? Im scared to do mine b.c i think the truck will smell like paint for a while... Any thoughts?

I do like the piece around the gauges painted, im doing the one under it already. Do you ever get any weird glares on the gauges?

i did mine myself in my spare bedroom. this was the first time i sanded, painted and clear coat i dont think it was that hard. You could save yourself a couple hundred $$$ and do it yourself.

i did, it didnt come out the best, if i had spent more time sanding with a litle peise of sand paper it would have been better. no ''weird'' glare but it is diffrent

sanding isnt "Fast" but yah its pretty cheap. And since its gloss you dont really need to clear coat it unless you want it really glossy looking. But i dont want mine super glossy, b.c i think it will make the rest of the dash look dull and old
