i would have used the VHT colour dye instead of the paint,
the dye penetrates whereas the paint may rub off....

time will tell

Looks just like mine, same paint even. As for the clear coat, I used it on the fairlane, and found that after a couple of months, it started to bubble in the heat of the car.... Also, the satin finish seems to look better than the gloss finish imho.

Dont like the Yellow at all. Its not to do with the colour or anything, Im generally not a fan of any colour coded dashes (Although Gunmetal touches on my grey dash may look ok).

Yagz looks good, the black makes it very factory looking, and thats something i'd do for sure, and then buy those Brushed aluminium surrounds that I saw on all ford day BA styles....

yeah i don't like the yellow either... it just looks wrong like that.

i want to do some major colour changing in my car eventually... i want to do all of the light blue plastics a darker greyish colour, and maybe different bits black, and maybe a little bit of blue around the place since my cars blue.. not too sure yet.
