Pulled the console out and took it apart to paint the center section black.
I have come to peace with the fact that my car will never be put back together in time for DMA FFT'11 (obviously we're still in disassembly mode).

You're painting the console? I thought it was all vinyl.Quote:

About a year ago I had a black one that was getting a bit threadbare, the vinyl top layer was getting thin in a few spots.
I dusted it with several coats of Rustoleum vinyl spray. Its a spray on vinyl in a can, not a vinyl dye. I'm sure if you laid it on thick it would start to obscure the original texture, but used in moderation it did a great job.

Whose car is that Bill? I really like the look of the "DMC" lettering logo on the console where the rheostat and clock normally are.Quote:

I just can't seem to resist taking crap off the car to paint it. Eventually there will nothing left but a bare underbody, which could use a good coat of flat black itself....

Lately I have been seeing a lot of cat foot prints on the Delorean. This morning I placed three glue traps on the car. :evilgrin:
I'm excited to see if any traps are missing when I get home today.
I thought te DMC logo turned out well. I did it because I don't have the clock on my car. I never liked the later shifter plate without the clock, it doesn't look balanced. Since I put LEDs in my instrument cluster, rheostat just works as an on/off swich (no dimming). Since I never used the rheostat, I took it out and jumpered the wires. Then I got the idea I want something in it's place. So I cut a piece of plexiglass to fit the area and covered it in black vinyl. When I bought my car, I got a box of stuff with it. The stainless DMC letters were in the box. So I glued the letters down to the plexiglass plate, and glued magnets to the underside of it. The magnets adhere to the shifter plate. So it's eaisly removable. I'm not aware of where you can get the letters now though. Some vendor may sell them still. I used the same vinyl to recover the arm rest pad.Quote:
