Yea I know. Why it ticks me off so much. Tired of wasting so much money on it.

Let me know how the new paint works out.:thumbs up yellow:

I'll let you know. Hope to have the can in this week. They didn't say how long, just a general note that says 1-14 days to ship for custom orders. Hopefully it'll be on the lower end of that scale. Hoping to order my Gryphon this week.

Custom rattle can was waiting at my door this afternoon. Got the first coat on now, bout to add a second light coat. It looks pretty good so far. It may be a shade too dark though. But, I put it directly over the charcoal grey duplicolor I already had on, so we'll see. I'll keep you posted and add pics if it works out or not.

I gave up for the night. Got 3 or 4 coats on the test piece and it looks nice. But in the dark, using a flashlight to get enough light, that just isn't accurate. So, the piece is in the truck. I'll do some comparisons tomorrow in the sunlight and get a real feel for it.

Initial thoughts are that it's gonna be extremely close. I noticed under the flashlight that the dash areas seem to be discolored, I would assume oxidized. They have sort of a yellowish tint in comparison to the panels on the front of the console sort of under the dash. So that may pose a problem of sorts, but not much I can do about that. Guess the new piece will just have to age to be a better match.

More to come....

Thanks for the info. Looking forward to seeing how it turns out.

Got a couple pics today and got to take a look in good sunlight. Gotta love sunny and 81!

It turned out a little lighter than I expected it would. But I think it's gonna work. It's not perfect, but neither am I. Actually think I can dust a coat of that charcoal grey duplicolor between coats and darken it just enough to make it almost identical. Gonna try that anyway.

Take a look:

Give me some opinions guys.

As to the paint and supplier, couldn't ask for much better. Ordered Thursday night late, so Friday, and it arrived Wednesday. Not bad for a custom mix coming from the midwest to Alabama.

Thanks,

Hmmm, I don't know. Still seems pretty far off to me. Still don't think those trim pieces are the same color as mine. :/

Do you have the dash pod? If so, take a picture of it next to your trim. :)

Don't have the pod yet. Probably order it Today or first of next week. Still waiting for my customers to pay me. Everybody is slow paying right now.

It's a lighter shade. Gonna try to overcoat the charcoal grey over the weekend and see how that works. The first coat of I applied I thought was gonna be too dark. Now I think it may have been just about right. I'll keep you updated.

You know, I may end up just going black. These $30 rattle cans are gonna get expensive. LOL!!! Course then the black probably won't match up!! Might just put it in the ashtray like I saw someone else had done.
