Well the paint came in and I got to work prepping the pre-primed panels and then painting on 3 light layers of base coat, followed by 3 light layers of clear coat. Pretty happy with the results, its not a perfect 100% match, but close enough to keep me happy. I plan on using the rest of the can to color match the door handles and mirrors, but that may be a bit of a stretch...

I could not get the factory shine out of the panel's new clear coat, but that may just require a bit more light rubbing compound applications as suggested by the instructions on the clear coat can.















Also took the time to install a new set of gauge faces, went from a light grey color to this color. I like it a lot, complements the brown interior much better than the grey faces did.
