This gets my vote for being really informative. We need to either get this over to the how to area or sticky it.

Speaking of vote everyone. If you find a post that is really informative or has information that is hard to find, or has details like no other, PLEASE take the time to vote for it at the top using the Rate Thread link. It only takes a second and will help those that come here at some point in the future sort through the threads. If you see one with a 4 or 5 star rating, it saves a lot of hassle in going into each thread to see if it has what you are looking for.

It whines a lot, but I like it.

The only place success comes before work is in the dictionary.

Great spirits have always found violent opposition from mediocre minds.

as far as removing the ashtray assembly, first remove the pull out part (i think there's tabs to push in on the outsides) and then there should be one bolt on each side up front, and one back in at the top towards the back of the dash (should be able to feel the head.....

Well I wont add my ways of doing things because you seem to have plenty of info on hpw to paint. But I would add this to say and show as long as you keep up with it, meaning cleaning it regularly and waxing it you wont have a problem with noticeable scratches. I polish my center console when ever I do a main interior cleaning usually once every two months and its shinny as the day it came out of the booth.

Just like body work...

The prep work makes the paint job.

You could have the best painter in the world, but if the prep work is horrible, his work will look horrible.

Thats one reasion why the guy who painte dmy car went to work for himself. He was the painter, but they had others doing the body work. Because painting was the last step of the rebuild or what ever, he got blamed for how it turned out. He said enough was enough and opened his own business.

I did all the prep work on my entire call so when he got it, all he had to do was wipe it down and mask it off and shoot it. he complemented me on the work, and i complemented him on his. He asked why I didn't paint it, as he knows I have all the equipment to do it, and I told him, cause if you don't paint a car all the time, getting back into doing it makes you make mistakes. Runs, missed spots etc. I said for THIS car, its worth it to have you do it cause I wanted it done right. It was well worth the money spent.
