Not to steal the thread in any way. I actually did the same thing for a customer until the decided they wanted it painted flat black. This is mine i just did. It was already a 94 but had been done silver to match.

You could just clear coat it and accomplish a permanent shine and some protection form scratching

I cleared some 5 or 6 years ago and I haven't really found a clear that is a semi-permenent fix, without first stripping the top layer off like the panels I have pictured. The reason for this is because it still has a the layer that has a tendency to peel. True though, the clear did help some. If I was just going to paint them, I'd just sand it down(which I have done several years ago and painted myself in the booth(which turn out well, but a novice can't do). Yours turned out very nice, but I'd still rather have my shiny ones

Plus, anyone with no experience, a couple of hours, and $3 can make their interior look great with no painting required. I have also used Plasti Dip to get the textured 94 look, which takes some practice, on some of my other panels.

Truth be told, I have a brand new complete 94 interior trim(hood and front, door trims, ac panel, and shifter console) sitting in the box waiting to go in one of these days, maybe 5 or 10 years from now. I know someone else that does too *cough cough* Dan *cough*

I actually meant clear the stripped shiny panels you have now to protect them. I understand completely about the layer that will still peel. Been bit by that before

Haha. The plasti dip sounds intresting. Would you mind PM'ing me some pics of that if you have any. I could imagine keeping it from running would take practice on our interior panels.

And what are you guys, interior panel chipmunks, what else you got stored in your cheeks?
