Rocket Man's 02 Denali Build Thread AKA "THE BEAST"

Ok so I think this fake wood grain shit has to go. I’m gonna paint it in the dark metallic Fusion I used in The Machine on the switch panels.

[shocked face] after all the interior work you did on the Machine, you look at the Beast, and she needs help!

The hardest thing about painting for me is waiting until it’s dried.

That color really looks good!

First piece of the console is painted. I just wanted to see how it went and used one of the small pieces so if it failed I could find one on EBay and leave the interior wood grain alone, but it came out good. 220 grit wet sanded with laquer thinner. Then I used Automotive Touchup adhesion promoter followed by Krylon Fusion Dark Metallic.

Thinking about sending you my interior pieces for you to paint!

Actually the Fusion is kind of a complimentary color to the exterior.

So, Mark, you're using lacquer thinner as the "wet" for wet sanding? I need to do this to mine.

I took it as he wet sanded the stock finish with thinner 1st, then the adhesion promoter, etc.
