The top of the dash will be a gold base, then gold flake, then House of Kolor candy apple red. The bottom of the dash will be a gloss black, this will compliment the candy apple red column. The gold flake should help the top of the dash really pop when the sun hits it.
Big thanks to Alex of Gambino Kustoms for his help.
Time to do some wet sanding and then add more clear and then candy apple red.
Check back for more pics and info.

Getting a 2 1/4″ exhuast installed by Gabe’s. They are also installing flanges behind the mufflers so I can remove the tailpipe when I install a tower notch and a triangulated 4-bar suspension in the rear.
