im gonna be modding a metra faceplate to fit a doubledin reciever. for those that mod by cutting, bondo... whatever it may be, what are you using to get it to match to the factory trim color?

 

Dupont from autozone......Make sure u let it dry for a full 24 hours before touching it....My shift gate is painted a characoal color,,,,

 

dupont what?

is it a flat black? black trim paint? whats the name of the specific color ill need?

thanks.

 

Yeah iam in process of making one, did you try to fill in the gaps and with what did u fill em with? I need the paint color also

 

Perfect color=

Black Primer+Semi Gloss+Wet Sand+Flat Black+Wet Sand+Flat Black+Wet Sand+Flat Black.

 

you wetsanded the spraypaint?

never thought of that. thanks.

 

Did you cut the Dash kit that straight or you filled it in, let me know how u did it..

 

This process starts with a new single din Metra dashkit. 3 days later it is a beautiful piece of furniture. What happens in those three days involves cutting, Bondo, plastic bonding, primer, paint and lots of wet sanding. Each kit is custom fit for each car as well as each double din player.

 

How did you mount the radio to the dash kit and to the car, did you use those stock brackets that atactched to the center of the dash ?

 

Hey uncald4 would you be interested in selling/making me a double din kit for my Alpine like yours? My kit is off a little and its buggin the hell out of me!!!
