What did you do to it.... Respray it with varnish??? Woodfinish? Could have done that for about $5 with regular clear coat...

 

First of all, this is not a clear coat. The process I used puts down half of a 1/8 of an inch of cover (one coat equals ~ 50 coats of varnish) with just one application! Regular clear coat can never do that! Also this process is 50 times more resistant to scratching than clear paint.

Yes indeed, I'm working on finishing the last part of the DIY. It's taking a little longer than I had anticipated with work and family and all! Please check back in the forum in a day or two.
Thanks,

Respect!

 

DIY is completed. Problem is, it's too large to be uploaded! Any suggestions?
Respect!

 

Ok... Maybe I should post a request for help with uploading this DIY in the main G2 forum???? Does anyone have any experience with uploading larger than 100kb files? The DIY was done in MS Word. Also, I'm running Windows x64 Professional (OS) on my computer, and it won't let me download the Post Script printer that's needed to convert this file to a PDF. Any help on this will be appreciated.
Respect as always!

 

C'mon mods. get a move on with this DIY.

 

I was was woundering;could you host the files outside of acura-legend.com, and do like a html <img src="http://www.XXXXXXXX.jpg" etc. if not i could let you upload the pics to my server. and as far the the document you're talking about that you're trying to convert to .pdf, what is it right now?

Did this Diy Ever get Posted??

 

Here's a link to the diy thread. As you can see in this thread, a forum member claimed that he f%$#@ up his console :headscrat, the only additional words for you, is to make sure that you have (whatever you are coating) properly propped up! Nothing should be touching anywhere (allow the resin to drip freely off of the item,) or the item WILL be bonded down when cured!
Lastly,
PLEASE, read diy and product instructions, in their entirety, before you start on this project! Also, tape off, and clean, clean, clean!

I cannot express, how happy I am with the results, the pictures does no justice at all! Not to mention, all the comments from everyone that, sees it in person!
Peace!

bumping this from the graveyard.. lol...
anyone have that pdf?? I can't seem to download it from the link, it says download ticket has expired.??

Mine seems a bit dull and i wanted to refinish it or get it to come up nicely again..

 

^^ same here. Was this done to a real wood console, or the plastic one? (I couldn't imagine mine is real wood... feels like plastic and is thin) It's wood patterned, not painted.

 

You did a really good job on that console. nice work! :thumbsup:

Back from the dead. I need this file or a diy on this subject. Can anyone help?

 

I would like this to be active again

It seems like a great diy!
