After a fresh install of the MC1. I needed to do something with the dash. I tried the carbon rap stuff. wasn't coming out the way I wanted. The plastic that houses all the gauges was in bad shape, and also so was the key/horn plastic.
Here is the rap I wasn't happy with
Pulled all the gauges
Went and got some HDPE. Time to go see "Sonicjk...." the guy you all know ( if you don't) hang out here... you will. He has all the cool tools AND knows how to use them .cool Little viideo.
Just got to slowly heat it up with a heat gun bend it to shape
This was 3/4 inch HDPE. I tooK a router to the back around the edge to give it the appearance that it is 3/16
Test fit done let it cool down over night.
Now off to the hydro dipper I Know nothing is suppose to stick to HDPE but the guys at BAG R BUCK assured me they deal with all types plastic and it is not a problem
Black carbon over Metallic silver is the choice for the dash stuff. For anything stereo Hear No,See No, Speak No Evil SKULLS over same Metallic silver. here they are over a Gold
Back from Hydro. also went with a High Gloss over It all. thinking it might go more mat finish over time. That hasn't happened yet still look new 2 years later.
Back on the boat
There was a lot more to this project, I didn't really talk about. Just cleaning up all the rats nest wiring was a PITA!!!!! it was worth it all. Thanks to @SONICJK for CNC file and cutting really helped not to mention so cool to just go the shop....( Like a kid in the candy store)... and, To Bag R buck Customs. The guys there know their stuff. about plastic.
