Looks great!
The lack of color matching these interiors has always been something that stands out to me. And not in a good way...
Life is to be viewed thru the windshield. Not rear view mirror.

It's true. The dash is a different color than the carpet which is a different color than the trim which is a different color than the seats. Even the trim pieces can differ!

I'm still getting used to it....I was used to "brown". Now it's all of a sudden orange. LOL

Looks really nice, good job!   I'm curious as to how durable it will be with use?

I will definitely update you guys on durability. You can scratch it probably, but you have to really try.

This would be the same with metro or other aftermarket panels which you'd have to paint anyways.  :dunno:

Although labor intensive, it certainly is a cheaper option than buying new panels  :dunno:

Only nerds like us will see a difference if getting close.

I agree!  Only the purists out there will notice it and meanwhile the OP gets a beautiful looking interior at a fraction of the cost.

And retaining the original panels too!  :)

You can refinish these as much as you'd like.

They don't reproduce my door panels (injection molded).

A guy in a FB paint forum I joined tried to paint something, just industrial paint, and got this surface, looks pretty close to our panels.
He was going for a smooth paint...  :)
