Got the cab painted don't look to bad saying its my first time spraying. I will get the seats and dash painted, the bash will be grey and i will do the seats tan. I will put some LEDs at the back of the dash to light up the panel and connect them to the mfu when i get it, the dash lights will come on when the head lights turn on. spike attached the following image(s): Building - Suzuki GSX 1300R, Hummer, Ford Mustang, R2D2 Droid, Delorean.

I have put the first coat of paint on the seat to see how it looks and i think i will go ahead with the colour. I have also picked up a bruder figure to go inside the truck. spike attached the following image(s): Building - Suzuki GSX 1300R, Hummer, Ford Mustang, R2D2 Droid, Delorean.

AL Thanks Spal, i didn't think the colour would of been that good as on the pictures it looks more black then blue. The glitter mixed with the blue stands out and after a clear coat goes on the glitter will shine. Building - Suzuki GSX 1300R, Hummer, Ford Mustang, R2D2 Droid, Delorean.

I put an LED strip light at the back of the dash to see how it looks. The dash has been painted and ready to go in the cab. I will sand the cab down and respray it. spike attached the following image(s): Building - Suzuki GSX 1300R, Hummer, Ford Mustang, R2D2 Droid, Delorean.
