Hey guys. First post. Be gentle. Haha.
I just got the double din from Japan and got everything installed.
-JDM ACC panel and hazard switch (dremeled the side. That's some quality plastic)
- I installed a Pioneer DEH-P8400BH head unit. I ran a USB cable and mounted it in the kick panel. Also ran mic for bluetooth bluetooth, which I mounted near the two little slots on the left of the radio trim piece (that's where the factory mics are mounted).
I didn't like the color mismatch (silver factory stuff and trim). Took off the two radio trim pieces, the little surround with the ashtray/cig lighter, and the shifter selector thing (I know I'm sounding retarded, but I'm not much of a car guy, but that's for another post).
Did a simple process. Here goes.
-Sanded all Smooth shiny parts that I wanted to paint
-sprayed with prep-all from advanced; followed instructions. Did it 2x
-lightly dusted with black plasti-dip. The first coat to get it to stick. (I stress light dusting) . Let it sit 15 mins.
-1st coat, keep the can moving. Short strokes, wait 15 mins
-2nd coat, wait 15 mins
-one more coat. Waited a couple hours. Just cause I fell asleep. Ha
-put everything back together.
I'm very proud. Looks awesome. Hope that helped.
Peace, Gents (& Ladies?) and Cheers!
