Hey pimpston
How did the armrests turn out after you sprayed them with the Krylon? I need to do mine with the same paint only in khaki as that's what color my interior is. What kind of prep work did you do? Mine is new so not too much prep needed

Re: finally come
 

sopa and water, red scuff pad,soap and water,paint. seems fine the paint was still tacky after a day!!! i left it alone for a day. seems like the paint adhered fine...

Re: finally come
 

Cool thanks. If it don't rain for the next few days, I will get mine dibe.
I appreciate the info. I was hoping I wouldn't have to use the Fusion paint for plastic.

Re: finally come
 

Don't forget to make sure you have a good metal-to-metal ground connection from the cluster housing to the bezel, and form the bezel to the dash. Sometimes a little fresh paint can get in the way. Otherwise you're lights won't be as bright and the cigarette lighter can do funny things.

Re: finally come
 

the backside cluster to bezel is fine as i didnt spray the mounting threads, i will clean the bezel to dash holes right before mounting, thks for the headsup!!!

Re: finally come
 

Pimpston: thanks for the prep tips. Got my armrest painted today and it came out great.

Re: finally come
 

very cool, I'm thinking about switching to silver interior like the cluster bezel. maybe i'll stick with fawn...

Hey Winston, I saw this Burb when it landed, then lost track of it.

Just rediscovered it and read the whole thread, as I do not go on this section much, simply as it would eat another chunk out of my day and I do not have a Burb.

You guys have really progressed with this, though I suspect having a fast EBay finger, and a nose for picking parts, your progress is amazing.

Re: finally come
 

:-p

Re: finally come
