Tony Posted February 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 so after more inspecting i see that this dash pretty much just comes apart in 4,000,000,000 pieces lol. then you have a frame hat also is tan and shows through all the cracks inthe other pieces...so thats gotta come off too. dash is becoming more of a project than i'd hoped Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporting Member fiveohwblow Posted February 13, 2014 Supporting Member Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 sorry man just noticed this message fiveoh. how i paint plastic....i have a big bucket full of TSP (trisodium phosphate) and as hot of water that i can stand. scrub it with scotchbrite. rinse very well. when they mold plastic it has an oil on it to keep it from sticking in the mold (what i've read anyway). then i scuff it with 240 grit. then i use a plastic adhesive spray. rustoleum plastic primer. at this point you can use several different paints. i like duplicolor vinyl/fabric paint. never had any issues and the sheen is perfect. looks like it was always black not painted. then i do a couple coats of satin or dull clear. No worries on the delay, used the tagging feature and love it because it works! Thanks for the advice and protips! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Posted February 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 kinda iffy on this suspension i got. read great things and also crappy things. as the case with every single item for sale lol. heres the shocks. just a tad longer for the 3" coils. the coils are in the truck along with the steering stabilizer. i'll give this setup a shot as i'm not that familiar with lift kits to be honest lol. i usually travel the other direction.

Zach Posted February 14, 2014 Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 From my experience bds is top notch on suspension quality if thst doesn't work for you I had one if there 6 inch kits on my dodge and it was very good quality at a good price, they seem to do the extra little things to make their kits stronger.
