                  1990 stock color (hot red), with touches of krylon lol. Just fades every couple months. I buffed it earlier today, so it looks darker

                        • Today i received my carbon fiber film from ebay that im going to hit my grey replacement glove box with for practice tonight...Then im going to see how forgiving this junk is on multiple bumps and angles like on top of cluster and around the vin plate and defrost holes. If not completely terrible it will be what is used to finish off the project when i cut a 7x7 hole to try and implement my dash cooler storage area idea(s). sun faded tan interior that is turning grey, and sun faded grey pieces turning tan...cant make it worse other than cracking them like i have been anyway.

                            What was the brand/model number of the sprayer you bought? Need to install a new one in mine since the painter I used last Spring broke mine getting it out. :gritteeth:

                                Carefully removed one with 4 sprayer holes from one at the junk yard to replace the one hole fan type that was in Trixie.
