(27 Days till G16)<\/p>\n

OK, so far this weekend, I’ve painted the interior panels with SEM 17113 graphite after the Vinyl fail. I also finished the vinyl dash pad.<\/p>\n

First coat:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Final coat: (note to any one doing this, I would use the plastic prep stuff SEM has and some SEM clear coat for vinyl. These are necessary for good adhesion. I didn’t use the prep and I’m regretting it. but, for most people new plastic in the color you want probably don’t cost as much as the cans of spray. So my suggestion is to find the panels in a the color you want before trying to use this stuff.)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Before clear coat, but the last pic that i took before i installed them: (I’ll get some more pics tomorrow in the daylight)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Also another kink in the works is my trunk panel…. d’oh! I gotta make another grrr! To much heat!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The only good thing this weekend so far:<\/p>\n

Foam. I used 3\/8″ thick. I wouldn’t go any more than that. I wish I had found 1\/4″ but it worked. I also wouldn’t foam the edge facing the windshield. It makes it hard to install.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Wrap the edges:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Nice and smooth. I hope the wrinkles come out in the heat, but over all decent job. I was happy just to see some thing work for a change :-\\ .<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

and finally, installed. Along with the AC knob I ordered. Also a highlight of the night. Better pics tomorrow!<\/p>\n
