Update on the HydroDrop display console. The main purpose is to have a center of attention display when you looked inside the Blazer.
I sprayed a single layer of primer to help with the paint adhesion. The next version of the display console will have a smoother surface and I will apply a layer of epoxy to help with any surface imperfections.
The side panel is friction pressed into place. The corners of the cover were sanded so it wouldn’t be hard to press into place. The lesson learned is to round the corners during design.
I went to Industrial Automotive Paint located on Weber Ave Stockton, CA. I’ve been going to this business for years whenever I needed color matching paint.
The employee “Angel” performed the computer color matching. He made at least 4 adjustments and testing before he came up with a paint that he felt matched the dashboard.
I honestly thought the first batch mix came out great until he pointed out the lightness and the size of the metal flakes.
This is why the center console display matches so well. I appreciate Angels effort and is why I always go to this business.
