Thanks for the compliments on the sigs guys.

I just got done painting the door Piece things, got to wait an hour before the clear coat goes on. I didn't buy enough paint to get the center dash piece, guess I'll have to wait till this week end to get that. I should have pics of the finished product in about 1.5 to 2 hours.

you said it is the 2nd time, is this a re-do? any problems with the paint chipping or getting crusty or anything?
im really curious about this!!!!!!

You can pic the paint up at your local auto-parts store. Heres the paint and clear that I use http://duplicolor.com/products/truckvansuv.html . The first time I Painted my verts interior, did'nt use any clear, and the paint looked fine tiill the day I sold it. My brother painted his mustang the same time I painted my vert. He recently sold his car and the paint was still fine, no chipping or fadding. This time I used the clear, and it made the paint look that much better.

If your interested in painting your interior, heres the article I used when I painted my vert, http://mustangworld.com/ourpics/fcar...eriorpaint.htm .
Hope this helps.

you could probably find it on this website - http://www.paintscratch.com/

they have the original factory touch up paint in spray cans or however you want it.

Yeah, i just came back from Auto Zone, and they got a 3 step kit, with a base coat, and clear coat finish for 20 bucks...it's not called Dark Shadow Grey, they call it something else, but the cap looked pretty damn close to ours, maybe a little darker...
