FINISHED...Console control panel.....
Reply #18 –
I painted the whole panel and the door as one assembly.Mine was closer to black.I sanded the ashtray,used rubbing alcohol to clean the plastic REALLY good,and shot it with Duplicolor flat black wheel paint.It didn't end up "flat black",more of a mild satin finish,and it's very resistant to chipping,chemicals,and anything else.It looks great,and that's what I'll be using to restore the two panels in the garage.I also used a quality primer/sealer on everything.Prep is the important part...and proper decal placement...and the paint/clear application....and the whole process.LOL.I'm really pleased.Rarely do I impress myself,but this was one of those times.
