Its very time consuming just to tape off all the little areas when you are redoing the whole panel (I redid the woodgrain, the chrome, the black, and the lettering) It took me a couple of days just because I would get frustrated and I would have to put it down. It looks 100% better than it did and the color is a real close match to the rest of the woodgrain dash pieces (if you dont have a woodgrain dash then its even better)
