Updating, climate control panel...

This thing has been bugging me for a while now.... The panel of my climate control was really showing its age + 1/2 the lights were out...

1- Remove the 3 knobs
2- Remove the 3 lock nuts
3)- Get the panel out (good time to change the light bulbs)
4)- Take the white template out
5)- Make your own template
6)- Paint the red zone (use old template for guide)
7)- Check the back of the black panel for clear spots, paint if necessary.
8)- Put everything back together...

Took me about 1 hour, perfect project for a rainy day...

Pretty funny coming from a Seattle resident...

Sometimes, you just have to let the small things piss you off in order to get them taken care of. Kind of like toddlers (currently in that phase).
