Rocket Man's 2008 Bagged CC Silverado Build AKA "THE MACHINE"

[Rocket Man]

All 3 started as different shades of black, but after painting them twice, first with SEM satin black and then Krylon Fusion satin they’re still too shiny so now I need to get flat black.

Very sharp looking dash you have there.

Today after installing the stereo, HVAC and TC controls I decided to extend the wiring harness for my demon eyes so I can locate a new toggle switch in that little cuddy by the TC button. In the process the knee bolster had to come out, and that made me think about whether the flat black Krylon was a close match to the rest of the dash and it was. As in really close, enough that I’m pretty sure it won’t even be noticed unless you know I painted the stuff. So I pulled the glovebox and lower center section and repainted them all. Looks pretty damn good imo. It seems like it’s just the way the light reflects off the different pieces that make it look any different.

I also started cutting up the cluster bezel pieces and after an hour of so decided to stop for now. It’s gonna take a lot of work I think.
