my dash, just the paint: stock og paint bare metal or close enough primer black spraypaint, yup spraypaint! lot of patience, tape and some silver spraypaint removed tape to expose pinstripes finally some platinum pearl and 5 coats of clear with a real gun. gotta give my buddy Leo credit for hooking up all the work i did, id hate to mess it up on the final stage. he is a profesional painter that has made countless magazine covers and won best paint at lowrider countless years. so lets just say that i trust the guy. well like i said that is just the paint. ill try and post other things ive done to the dash another night. hope you guys like it, btw this is all being done in my backjard.

thanks outlaw im really happy with it. never seen something like it so i figured its just paint and time.
haha, thanks i actually had a ruller and would do a few and make sure they were consistant. i started in the center and worked my way left and right.
Update... Made my own shift knob... thanks to the HAMB. i finished installed my Mo-hair and made a new glove box out of MDF (wrapped that in a black felt like material). whatcha think? Yaril
I have one of those cars with 48k miles. It gets it's turn next summer, I hope. BTW-is that Ewok for on the dash?
Justin? dunno, im the 3rd owner of this Buick. 1st guy was up in Tallahassee, then the 2nd owner (old timer, no offense, he had 2 other beautiful mild customs) took it to west palm he had nosed and decked it, but reinstalled them to sell the car, i bought it bone stock from him and drove it down to miami.
yea, ive seen your car there too. it used to be my only daily driver, till i drove it to Daytona back in 04 and really hurt the trans and rear end. so i took it easy and got me an old VW to push around while i worked on the drivetrain. its all better now much better... ill be driving it to Daytona this November again.
good deal you got a thread going on the cars you guys are putting together, would love to check it out... yeah i know Johny, he alway disappears haven't caught up with him in a while.
sprayed my air tank for the Buick. the scheme matches my dash top. ill be clear coating it this weekend with the same platinum pearl thats on my dash...
some progress on the new air set up / trunk. made some panels to one day have them upholstered: went ahead and painted the trunk area: got my tank: just had to post this... the quick work of the shop i payed to install the air ride some 5 years ago, compared to how im doing it, i have physically "re-bagged" this car since then. this is how all the wiring will look (the black ones): decided to "in the mean time" put some of that white fox fur on th rear panel so you dont see the springs of the seat: it started raining and got dark so ill finish wiring / plumbing the stuff up tomorrow morning. see ya, Yaril
