WOW!!
Yikes that looks NICE!! Did you yank the whole dash to paint or did you do it in-place? If you did yank it, how long did it take to remove and reinstall? I have to do mine....

Very nice! It makes the rest of the old paint on the truck look really bad now, doesn't it?

Dang! Blinding! That's nice. Just think what you could do for the paddles on the 3-lever light switch.
How are you gonna do the rest of the truck to go with that? It'll take a life time.
PS. Since you are coloring the switches, why not swap colors for the "Stop" and "Accessory" controls?
Of course, you'll need to schedule a weekend...he he he

Thanks guys!
I unbolted the dash to paint it and stripped it to bare metal and removed all small dents. This is why I am missing the size of the upper bolts that bolt the dash to the cab.
An important note...On dash plaques, use the shortest scxrews permissible as they will interfere with the seating of the dash.
And yes, it makes the rest of the truck look horrible, but in the words of Johnny Cash, "I got it one piece at a time..."
I will post more photos as I progress...you should see the gauges!

The paint I used was PPG Omni AU (acryllic urethane with hardner), The primer I used was DP 40 epoxy primer, sanded to 400 and reprimed with a PPG primer surfacer, again sanded to 600, and sprayed with the Gloss Olive.
If I do my truck like this, I'll do one panel at a time!
