so what do the guys who smothe out their dash and door panels and **** do?? do they sand the entire dash and all the trim and all the door panels and everything...that seems like a ton of work...i'd rather just paint them with the textured look if that's what i would have to go through.

you can either sand the hell out of them or use high build primer to make them look like glass.

i just painted mine and kept the texture. so far i've had no durability problems but 2 friends have. that and don't even think about putting wax on the pieces after you paint them

what type of high build primer? where would i find it? what do i need to do to prep the interior pieces for primer and painting? don't i have to use something special to clean them or prep them?

Matt
