Great dashboard Dirk. The flock carpets are really effective.

Thanks Tim. A second cote of green has been applied and has been set off to dry. I will need to give do a bit of sanding and then one last cote should do the trick. I'll try to post some photos soon.

That really is green - it could be the Toxic Avenger's car. I like it though.
