LoL I thought you edited it to take the bug pics away. Same thing happened to two of my handles...tailgate and drivers. Oh well, 3 years later they still look fantastic! Is yours bad enough to have to sand down and redo the clear? Or will wetsanding and buffing suffice? And what else are you planning on painting inside?

Wetsanding and buffing would work, but I will put one more coat just because. I may get to the center console when I get back next weekend (going out of town for work).

Sounds good. Once you get back it's time for some pictures of our rigs. Your new sig looks nice.

Can't wait to see installed pics and what you have in mind for the center console!

I installed the left vent trim ring and the steering wheel controls before I left for work. Letting the right vent trim ring I touched up there to dry.

Boa, Thank you. The color matched paint is sold at the dealership. It is roughly $15 for a 5 oz spray can. Everything I have painted has been with a rattle can, including clear, in my garage. No paint booth or spray equipment. The fanciest thing I use is a stop watch to keep track of flash times between coats.

Savage, too funny. Thanks for the compliment......I think.

Definitely post pics. Wish I had a hook up. I am looking at Roadwire for my custom seats.
