Gonna finish up the rest of the interior tomorrow and wait for my leatherique dye to get here friday to start on the seats and door panels.

How did you paint over the little icons like on the parking brake handle without covering them?

Day 3

The fun begins



1st coat



2nd coat



3rd Coat



Final coat





All is left for tomorrow are the door inserts and the center console then I should be done. I spray the dye on instead of doing the paint brush method. I tried the brush method on a test piece but didn't like the results so I went with spraying.
