Continuing on getting the prep & finish work done on the panel itself is already a tedious effort, along with materials cost and two of the reasons we even admit, this is just slightly over the top as far as installations are concerned.
However, in this day with so much of everything becoming if not already cookie-cutter like. We felt taking some long time gained experiences and skills and taking it up a notch was well worth the excitement and response from a long time client whom we've had the honor to groom not only trust with them, but a working relationship that will be a lifetime client. That is what we are striving for here.
So after several coats of a special plastic primer, we were able to start adding layers of the actual dash color matched paint/dye, [now at the time of this posting this I would like to point out that there is what seems to be a slight off color look to the end product. It is not a color issue but what the camera is showing but albeit not as effectively as in person is that the panel has a texture to it rather than being smooth to match the original dash plastic panel itself]. There is roughly nine coats of paint and two coats of texturing technique so that the panel could be felt by the owner with slight of glance at night for on the fly operation changes.
Assembly of the panel comes after some light sanding of the switch gallies to smooth up the surfaces that had some over spray on them. After a quick sanding and testing each buttons function for being operable the assembly could continue.
The last and most exciting part for all was the dash assembly. Customer was called and able to spend enough time for us to do the minimal dash assembly and check for exactness and will return a couple days after to program switches to their functions.
The following pictures are just the aesthetic results during the day time both off and backlit. We will surely post some last minute night time shots so a night time view is available to be seen.
