JNells Posted February 28, 2014 Author Report Posted February 28, 2014 The panels were originally light grey from the factory. I never took pics before originally painting them a couple years ago... Malibu Build Log
JNells Posted February 28, 2014 Author Report Posted February 28, 2014 Decided to give SHCA a whirl for my ground wire and will eventually redo my power wire to SHCA.' Great wire, nice price, excellent customer service and fast delivery!! Malibu Build Log
JNells Posted February 28, 2014 Author Report Posted February 28, 2014 And here is where I am stuck at with the Ipad dash... The stupid glue is taking forever to cure!!! 15 seconds my ass!! It's been 2 hours and it's still goopy in some spots... I did go a little heavy on the glue just to get complete coverage, but it should not still be wet like this... Malibu Build Log
JNells Posted March 1, 2014 Author Report Posted March 1, 2014 After the fill primer... And I notice a few minor spots I need to fill, but then it's the sand/paint process. *the ugly black behind where the ipad will go will be re felted. I say "re" bc I thought it would be easiest to felt it at the beginning, which i now know was a horrible mistake. Oh well lesson learned, and all the remnants will be covered up to never be seen or heard from again Also received my single din mount kit earlier today so will be getting everything ready and installed hopefully this weekend.

JNells Posted March 3, 2014 Author Report Posted March 3, 2014 Added some gloss to my panels. Turned out really good for spray paint in less than ideal conditions. I I've done most of my panels this way, but these are the first 3 done, the rest are still in the process of drying. Malibu Build Log
JNells Posted March 3, 2014 Author Report Posted March 3, 2014 As for ipad, ended up creating more work for myself trying to fill pinholes and so spent 24 hours fixing and waiting for more ca glue to dry/cure. And with the same amount of really small (hardly noticeable) pinholes and cracks (where fglass meets plastic panel) as i had before, I said screw it and pressed forward. Basically it's at where the pictures above are... Lol! Sucked bad!!! But decided if I am to truly get a seamless look then I need real ca glue and applicator spray. Mobile solutions is probably in my future haha. Malibu Build Log
