I am doing some custom plastic molding to my gauge and radio bezels (7" touchscreen and relocated airvents) and I was wondering if anyone knows how I could re-create the brushed, silver look after I'm done...
try giving it a light coat of silver, then take a dry, soft paint brush and drag it across it...
Ok, I'll try that on some s pieces and see what happens. I'll have to make sure I have a nice, consistent, darker color underneath the silver as well.
Paint it black, mist with silver and while its wet make a quick light pass with steel wool.
I'll try steel wool on my test piece as well. Gonna be a couple weeks 'til I'm ready but I'll also post the results.
I have some decal substrate that matches pretty good. It's what I make my brushed aluminum center console decals out of.
I was wondering if you were gonna chime in, Aerobird! I'll go check out what you're talking about... Also gonna need some new decals soon too. I should look at that stuff as well. Also, I'm gonna shoot you a PM...
woah, just checked your page. What happened? I was there a few months back but now I can't find any of the interior stuff you had. Is something wrong with your page? All I can get to is "appearance."
Cool... looks more like an 8" 4:3 screen too me though. A bit too big for my taste but I like your vents. What are they out of? Do they still pivot and close? I just made mine out of the same ones I removed from the gauge bezel but they may look to big, we'll see...
I started to re-vamp it, and then life got in the way. I still make the decals. Shoot me a PM.
ok...
