Hey have you already got it painted to match? Cause you could just go to patterntek.com. They will actually color match it based on the paint code. Then you send them the parts and they dip it and it coats its. I am actually planning on having somethings done when I get back from Nevada. Including the Key fobs.

interior paint, ok, but what brand? I was in pep boys and autozone and they had the plastic paint, I think it was Krylon, but the blue didn't look like that. I have the same steeering wheel cover you do, and want to match the blue to it. They had a metalic paint that looks like a match, but it was for metal. Did you use that?

i just painted my dash, but I used Krylon plastic paint and while it looks good, mine doesn't look as mettalic as your. Oh well. Oh and to get the steering pieces of, you have to disconect the neg on the battery. Then if you look on the sides of the steering wheel you'll see two holes with a funky screw head. I forget what their called, but get you a matching screwdriver and the unscrew them. Their pretty tight. Once their loose you can pull you airbag off. ( FYI the screws don't come out ) after the bag is off you'll see the screws holding the silver pieces on. It was kind of tricky getting the switch apart, 2 screws hold it together and to get it out you have to take it apart, just don't lose any of the small parts! I never did figure out how to take the plastic volume and the other piece off, so I just taped them up and painted, If I knew they would'nt come out I never would have taken the dumb switch apart.
