Good work Clay,

Kick panel holes not lining up ???

Yes it would blend better if the firewall area was black but it does match your pedal colour.

Yer I painted the pedals Greg. The kick panels are ok if a tight fit but must remember to get the guards on first. Brett it’s the diagonal bit between the kick panel and the insulator. On my sedan it was black from factory I thought but then I did get the car painted early on.

Hit the Matt with a heat gun or hot hair dryer when your finished and it will flatten out nicely - looking good Clay - getting to the exciting bits.

It's as close to factory as we could get thanks Brett.

I used the whole 250ml of colour. Four coats with extra thinners in the last, using the touch up gun with 1.2mm tip.

Didn't have to wait long paddy. Light hand buff. Don't look too close at the seat trims as didn't do much surface prep.ImageImageImageImage

Anybody know where I can get some Coolaride seat covers? I don't want to put my daggy arse on it.

Looking great Clay - colour looks awesome - get those inner door rubbers on before the trim starts coming off

Clay,
This is finishing off beautifully.
The attention to small details is stunning, it’s those that give this the wow factor.

I hope your light truck tyres don’t produce a harsh ride, as light truck tyres have exceptionally strong sidewalls.
But they certainly fill the arches perfectly.

Really top notch job here mate.

Thanks for your interest Ric.

Painting inside doors then flip over and paint outside. Slight run no big deal.ImageImage
