Nice fiberglass job........not busting your ballz or anything but I think it would probably have looked better if they were flush or imbeded in the door....kind of like a 350 or something....I dunno....just me

it looks kinda uneven, do you have a pic of the finished product? and is that for 52 or 60mm gauges?

Thanks guys, It took about 2 weeks to do, its alot of sanding. The paint is Tamiya model paint (gunmetal) Its expensive as ****. 5 bucks for a 3 i nch tall bottle, I used 4 and I still need to repaint everything, so I'm gonna find a cheaper alternative, maybe semigloss black. Yea its facing the driver side. I guess I'm willing to do it for other people if they are interested. Just PM me I guess.

Thats because Tamiya spray is synthetic laquer, and its top quality spray paint (atomises evenly). I use it all the time.

cheaper alternative that works is dupi color gunmetal wheel paint :) painted my dash with that and worked great.
