Got the Blue done nicely. Clear ran some near ashtray shelf &&@?!
Will see how it looks after the clear hardens. Sometimes it disappears and others are too obnoxious.

Looks great. Good thing about the dash is you only see it every time you drive or get in the truck.

I remove the masking while the paint is dry to the touch but still soft. Too early and can get color strings onto adjacent white and too late can chip/peel the color you painted. I think double flash time on the clear will fix my run issue for exterior pieces. It ran only in my overlap area due to steering column. I knew I should have stopped at two coats of clear but didn’t want to waste the last bit (listen to your gut).

I have Me Myself and I working on this. So blame can be spread when something is done incorrectly!
