Default New Center Dash (painted finally)

Well, after much elbow grease, a few Icy Hot medicated pads, and a few gallons of Sportscream my dash is finished.

Overall I excited how great they turned out. I wasn't totally sure I would get the parts buffed out to a gloss shine or if I would totally get rid of all the sanding scratches, especially since this was going inside the car and I would have to look at it every day, but it worked out perfectly. But let me know what you think? Was it worth me taking my time over 2 months to complete them??

Wow that looks very good, but you need to do A LOT More so it doesnt look so out of place with the black. Once you do a bit more it will be PERFECT!! A+ in quality!
