Painted the panel

Post by cjensen »

Finally got to a point where I could safely say I'm ready to paint the panel tonight. I used the hammered silver that several have used on interior parts...it came down to tan or hammered silver, and the silver won out because I was afraid tan would be too much with the rest of the interior.

I REALLY like this color and finish!

Looks great, Chad! You'll find that hammered finish really is tough stuff!
