Interior Painting... Nightmare

Well I decided to try and tackle painting my dash and what an experience it has become... I'll let the pictures do the talking...



As of now its primered up and I plan on sanding it down and laying some paint tomorrow.

I'll try to keep you guys updated on how it's coming. Here's a little preview...

Thats a right mess, personally though I would never paint the dash, it can hurt the resale value amongst other things.

Got the paint layed, wet sanded and two coats of clear sprayed. Planning on laying atleast three more coats of clear this evening. So far so good.

Well guys I've finally awaken from this nightmare... Got everything back together and what a sigh of relief it is to see my truck back in one piece. Only one problem, the problem i feared most. extra screws... I have about 6 screws that i have no clue where they came from or where they go. Although I must have taken about 40 out so 34 out of 40 can't be too bad haha. Anyway, heres the good stuff.











Opinions?

LOOKS GOOD!! haha something that would have added a little flair would have been to paint the trim piece inside the instrument cluster.
