So now I'm trying to repaint some parts on the 'ol spit, trying to make them
look nice and new.
Tried using dupli-color paints, but on my initial tests it just will NOT spray
right. I shake the can religously and keep it at a distance. More paint ends up
on the can and on my fingers than on the object in question. There's the nice
light stream, but also shooting gobs of paint at the part, and not making a
nice coat. One exception was when I repainted the sun visor holder arms, which
came out nice and smooth.
Any advice? Or should i look for a new brand of paint here? A bit disconcening.
Also, new rough draft web page on restoring a handbrake console with the vinyl
kit provided by Newton Commercial. For me it's taking longer than normal since
I want to get it done right:

It's unfinished, but a start. Right now i'm on the last stages of gluing back
on the numerous tabs on the front part(where the handle sticks out). Then i
have the fun daunting task of getting the "boot" part(the vinyl cone) back on,
and bending the clips into place with my prosthetic ring(original cardboard one
was not re-usable).. yay.
Who are the ad wizards who thought cardboard would make a great backing for
interior parts?
