I was just going to start a new thread to express how much I love SEM color coat. Monday I had a professional glass service pull my windshield out, yesterday I painted the metal cowl portion of the dash, I took my time applied 5 light coats to go from the factory gray to landau black, then one medium coat, followed by 2 medium coats of low luster clear. Cowl dash looks better than anything I've ever painted before. Today I did my padded dash in corners/cracks and my accuform dash cover, 3 light coats, one medium, then 2 medium low luster clear coats. Prep wise I washed my dash with dish soap, dried, sanded with 120 grit, then cleaned with SEM plastic and leather prep, then applied the paint just mentioned. I just used the sem plastic prep for the dash cap. Its very forgiving, I accidently had the tip of my glove getting into the nozzle stream and a few blotches occurred, but with light coats it didn't ruin the paint, it dried and you can't see them. Expensive stuff, but worth it. So far I've used 1 full and 1/3 can landau black and about 1/3 color coat. I will post pics tomorrow.
