what paints did you use to spary the fascia ???

Hey man, thanks for checking out the car.

Uh for the fascia surrounding the instrument cluster I used the gloss black paint from Autobarn, I'm not entirely sure of the brand name but it costs about $4 for a can.

The vents were done using White Knight Superchrome paint.
The actual original console you can see was done using the original Holden paint, but I don't know when it was put in.

Most paint I used has been from Autobarn, including the Vinyl dye for the doors.

This.
Any mistakes you make, you can turpentine off, in my experience it hasn't damaged the doors at all.

Also, ute's looking nice, Jonni. :D

Howdy lads / lasses, just some updated pics and a bit of a hint as to where I'm going with the old girl.

First pic, was something very simple. Removed the front grille trims and sprayed them with White Knight Super Chrome paint. I may need to go over them again in a high heat variety next time, however; As you can see, the Super Chrome is slowly fading away. Oh yes, the front end is also damaged by bugs of steel.

Next, my dodgy Supercheap Pedals which will soon be replaced by some SS ones. Hopefully. I think the accelerator pedal is slowly coming off.

Full blue LED instrument cluster conversion. :rockon:

My hint of a new colour change- Ocean blue paint with some brutal glitter. Yeah man, glitter. Homemade job, looks amazing, didn't take long at all. Also shown: Chrome-painted heater/air con surrounding, and Head Unit in proper position.

Found a full centre console / Handbrake boot from a VP and extracted it. This is the result, glitter and all. Phwooar yeah.

Interior so far. Much more to come, stay tuned for the evolution of this tuned up monster.

Thanks man, sounds grouse! I'm tempted to split the exhaust and get another set of dual tips coming out the other side of the bumper... Tip's only $70 from Autobarn

Found some more recent pics that I've taken, with the mesh grille on...
