Is the color close enough to the Cognac to paint the rear black fender with it
Thanks

I THINK SO

Don I did the painting and before I re-mounted the dash I put it against the side bags for comparison.......It was extremely hard to tell any difference .....and I'm fussy about that sort of thing.............In some PM's with Dubld I discovered He didn't read my original Thread about using the VHT paint. It's absolutely critical to first prime the PLASTIC with a PLASTIC PRIMER PAINT ( I think red works best for Cognac switch ) He discovered that after He painted without the Primer. Also this Paint is translucent so you need to apply many light coats or it will run......+ at least 4 coats of any cheap clear for depth.....good luck, Mike :thumbup:

Purple Guy got the idea from me about painting his dashboard Cognac.

Thank you Deanna777 and Blueknight911 for setting the record straight, and no, Mike, I did not read your "original thread" because I didn't even know it existed. I wish I had seen your thread. It would have saved me a lot of trouble. So, to give credit where credit is due, thank you again.

Don: Yes, the color is an exact match to the cognac, so you can paint the rear black fender. Sent a PM. You will see the color in my post # 20 on this tread. Deanna

your pic does not show up. Have seen on facebook the cognac and blueknight also did his I believe. Looks great and does pop...congrats..!! :2thumbs:

Look at my post # 20 on this thread you will see a pic. Yes, Blueknight911 did paint my dashboard with the cognac.

Also, the color looks Awesome, and the dashboard does pop out. Blueknight911 was the one who suggested to me about getting my dashboard painted with the cognac.

You can send me or blueknight911 a pm if you need more info. Deannna
