Well after painting the cluster and putting new gauges in it I had to put new white faces on so...Here is the cluster all over again

[pugraham]

Your dash rebuild is awesome

[JRANGER]

Thanks

[JRANGER]

Got bored and had to work remotely so i painted another Solid Dash Bezel....Not perfect but it didnt turn out bad

Probably will just sell it

[pugraham]

how much would you be looking for it?

[JRANGER]

Well its not perfect by any means and normally ive seen people selling good quality (Plastic wise) for about $65....So me being me...I would sell it probably for $50 plus shipping

Yet again i want to say the paint isnt perfect...there are a few dark spots of the black and what not... Its an AC unit with the top AC piece not attached...I might have one though.... and it has no clear coat on it Also the right corner has a small chip in it

[pugraham]

Im really close to tearing my dash apart, I was looking at the billet ones but those run around $100, so I might get back to you once I got it apart and am at decision time

[JRANGER]

cool man...Just let me know...

[JRANGER]

Sanded, and masked the driver door off and areas where over spray may occur

Primed with Sandable primer
Primed with high build primer
Waited 30 mins and sanded with 320 grit

[JRANGER]

hit the door with 4 coats of blitz black paint (Satin Black)

[JRANGER]

took masking off the door...Found a couple of spots i had to touch up but nothing major

Also sprayed the left edge just in case i didnt have it over far enough

[JRANGER]

A few little things done this A.M. Removed the old rusted out and almost gone batter tray...Hit the support with the wire brush and some left over Rust-Oleum Professional Semi Gloss Enamel, hit the new tray with the enamel and then I hit the brake thing with it too just because...Didnt even wire brush it...Figured why not...Prob will get some flat black for it eventually but since i was there and had some drop still on the truck just hit it...

Also installed my LMC Relay Harness

[JRANGER]

installed the wind seal back on the door this weekend and that's about it.....Woke up late Saturday and then went ot see my friends new born. After that went to KY to watch UFC and didn't get back until Sunday afternoon..bah i don't like my weekends wasted like that lol

[JRANGER]

woohoo...Order for more Aerosol can of Blitz black so use on the door jambs and such of the other side....2 other cans will probably used on the underside of the hood

yeah a lot of guys use them on here...Its just a matter of being patient and lining them up. This is actually my second set due to having some bad gauges but i really like them and hey go great with my Blue LED bulbs..Its only like $25..basically just big white stickers

Looking good Brother!

Well with 99 degree weather and 50% chance of rain I said screw it and went to work today...

I previously had sanded everything down yesterday so I started with cleaning everything off, and masking the door and cab....

Also since that last door I decided it was wise to use my respirator this time lol

Hit it all with 3 cans of high build primer and now im letting it dry... 30 mins after finishing it started to sprinkle so luckily the primer drys fast...

I also had an extra glove box door and decided that since I have changed from painting the truck the stock color to Blitz black I can now paint the interior...

So I bought some Rust-Oleum Sun Rise Red that I thought would match the seat better...

[JRANGER]

Stock glove box door vs Test Painted Door

Test Painted door next to seat red
What do you all think? Close enough match?

[JRANGER]

Rain is slowing me down and its making me mad....Its suppose to be 50% all weekend and i want to hit the door with the paint before next week car show...UGH!!!

the rain and heat is slowing every body down man
