What have you done to yours? Prep work?

Being plastic didn't know if anything different.

Can you do.something less gay? No offense, I hunt and would.possibly even consider doing this to the interior of an 89 blazer but not in my superduty. My buddy wants his lly interior all gayed up like this.

Can you do a satin black? I want to do my dash bezel(the big piece with the vents in it), my steering wheel and column too.

The finish looks good but is durable? I mean the door panels will be rubbed against constantly.

TY, I use the same clear coat thats on your trucks paint job! Rubber pieces WILL NOT hold up to wear, anything with a hard plastic or metal surface will hold and outlast the truck!

Everything in black was done with high temp engine rattle can paint. Everything in red was done with the actual paint for the exterior of the truck. High temp primer was used prior to everything.

I should paint the valve covers and the HPO Rez with the same color. What would go with Ford red? Just black?
