The dash looks really good. What kind of paint did you use and how does the texture feel?

While loading up the trunk with roofing shingles at the lumber yard, one of the workers drove by on a forklift and yelled, "nice SC, man!" He stopped to chat and was very complimentary of the platform; all the more impressive coming from a STI guy.

Thanks man!!

I used a duplicolor vinyl and fabric flat black for paint and duplicolor prep spray to clean it, but that's after I wetsanded the dash with 600 and washed it clean with dawn dishsoap and water mixture.

Today paint completely cured and I reinstalled sensors, cracked vents , and updated the trim with cf wrap
I think it came out awesome!!!!!
Black dash ftmfw!!!

Had to use battery pack to get it started. Been a while since I've driven it.

Yours is also one I always loved. Especially your paint color!

What wheels are you sporting these days?

I took another shot at plastic polishing.

Before:


After:


I spent about an hour on each light. Started at 800 grit moved up to 1,000 then 1,500, 2,000, and finished with 2,500. I was going to go up to 3,000, but it was $7 per sheet. I followed it up with some plastic polish.

Now you just have to get some clear lamin-x so it doesnt fade out again. i put that on mine after a polish, and they look as clear as the day i did the polish

I was planning on putting a clear film over it. How long has it been since you polished them?

I answered in your other thread, but here you go: 18x9.5 +22 (+37 originally with a 15mm spacer) with a 245/40/18 in the front and 18x10.5 +36 285/35/18 in the rear
