    Hey Guys,

    This is part 1/2 for this truck. I finished the top dash with the installation of 6 gauges. I am currently now working on the lower dash panel, where the radio is being relocated to. To be honest, i don’t know the model of the truck, I just know it is a big one.

    Here are the pictures. I took extra time to give the gauges a molded in look,. instead of just a flat paneled look.

    He may have used the DX1999 Texture additive or maybe a secret painters ingredient……. Either way it turned out better than factory keep up the good work.

    The texture dries a little rough so I use a nylon type material (nike dry fit tshirt) and armor all spray. I wet down the whole panel with armor all and use the shirt to get the texture smoother by rubbing it down, otherwise it is like little rocks.

    I’ve used it for some interesting things, and it gives a great finish…just never thought of doing interior panels.

    Looks great Nex!
