If I came to look at your truck and saw what you did, (now, mind you, it is a slightly different story if it is a professional looking job) I would wonder what else you "modified" in such a sloppy manner, and would promptly walk away. Don't get me wrong, I am not against mods, but please don't desecrate perfectly good interior panels with Ace Hardware spray cans!!!

I went to a salvage yard and got all the dash pieces that I painted. I still have the whole original set of dash pieces. So if I do sell it I have all the original pieces. I just wanted to see how it would look and the white came out great. I picked up a friend who does auto painting for a living and he said it looked great and gave me a few pointers but said it looked like I got it done professionally. I think it came out great though. Still have some touching up to do.

It's not that you can't get spray cans and use then because you can. The problems mainly are atomization and air volume. Secondly, if you painted them white (which is the worst color to keep clean longterm) and don't use a good 2K clear, pretty much anything you use to clean the white is going to run it off.

Looks good now, but a year from now....... Ewww.........
