I want to keep an anodized red theme to the interior to match the steering wheel quick release and the shifter knob, but still keep it looking like a race car interior, I also would prefer not to have the bright aluminum background to the instrument panel. That being said, I used Emory paper to put a brushed finish on the dash panel, the glove box cover and the audio mounting plate. Duplicolor makes a Metalcast enamel that is like Candy Apple Red, but simulates anodizing in appearance. After the brush surface prep, I used Duplicolor surface prep to remove any contaminants, then used their clear primer, followed by the red Metal Cast color coats, followed by a few coast of clear. After letting it sit for a week, I wet sanded the surfaces in preparation for the final heavy clear coat, which I applied after these photos. Good to be back in the shop.
