My New FABO Reality Show...Rani, I'ma Callin' You Out!!!

Gotta agree with ya PBD on the PITA, I tried removing the ac evaporator when we were re-doing dads for a cleaning, but it wasnt coming out in one piece!! So I cleaned it the best I could. We had a new heater core, required a little trimming on the mounting edges but worked good.

Ok, so here is some of the progress I have made. After the 1st coat of "Chrome" I wasnt very happy with it, so I 600 grit wet-sanded it.There is now a total of 3 coats on it and the "chrome" is totally coming off in my hands even after curing for 24 hours!!Looks more like metallic silver than chrome. Im gonna continue with it anyway and start with the black on the bezel.
I used PlastX for the pod lenses and it worked good. Mine were in decent shape but had rust stains on the bottoms of the larger lenses. I had to use PlastX about 3 times but got 99% of the rust off.
I painted the outside of the pods with SEM Landau Black, but it didnt match close enough to my liking. I went with MarHyde Satin Black. Not 100% but close enough. Pod centers have 1 light coat of "chrome" on them. They will get another couple of really light coats. Not sure what Im going to use for gauges yet, I have to inspect and pick the best ones, and havent gotten word from the company that is updating mine and dads tachs. Not to the PITA detailing!!
