New look Glove Box Lid
Stripped the paint on the front using a stripping disc, then hand sanded with Emery Cloth, sprayed the back in Black then clear coated the lot, bought a Chevrolet script, cut the posts off the back (didn't want holes drilled) and stuck it down using a couple of spots of clear silicone. I think it looks pretty good...even if I say so myself.

Re: New look Glove Box Lid
Go for it Seeker it's real easy, I had thought about spraying the middle black and leaving the outer edge bare metal, but glad I left it like this.

Thanks FLD, Silver will work with most colors, the good thing with glove box lids is you can pick spare ones up easily, modify them and if it doesn't look right just pull it and put your original back on.

Re: New look Glove Box Lid
Nigel,
maybe make a matching dash w/ gauges out of a glove box door (there's an FAQ)....I think that would look cool w/ your black truck interior ![]()

Re: New look Glove Box Lid
Nice custom touch! I've thought about a script like that molded in and painted. Maybe cut a valve cover and graft it into the lid.

Re: New look Glove Box Lid
That looks sharp man, good job. I was wondering, do you think you'll have to coat it with anything to avoid rust spots starting?
