    Do you have any more pictures of the matte finish? I like the look.

    Also, what do you have done to your gauge cluster in terms of lighting?

    I put matte black then matte clearcoat, that make it matte but some glossy finish.

    The gauge lighting is a blue led light strip, it fitted into the gap round the dashboard, the orginal it´s still there, but not connected.

    Nice, thanks for the pics. What brand paint and clear did you use? Can you wash it like you would a normal gloss and clearcoat?

    And roberlo for the clearcoat,
    http://en.roberlo.com/products/car-refinishing/complementary-products/clear-coats/dual-matt-hs/

    The clearcoat you can mix how you want it to be, if you want real matte or more normaly finish :)

    Yes i can wash it normaly..

    Looks good. I just did the same led lights too. I went with the white but dimmed them down some cause they were too bright.

    Looks great. I love all the things you can do with LEDs now. Great for that little personal touch.
