    Finally started restoring my 98 procraft

    Ok guys finally started restoring my 98 procraft. as you can see it has been weathered over the years. 1st pic is of dash before about 2 hours or sanding and cleaning to prep it.



    Next pic is after about 4 coats of Krylon fusion and covering that with dupont clear. I have done this a few times and when I didnt use the clear on top the paint will peel rather quickly.



    Let me know what you guys think
