Center console removal

BikerDrew · 03-04-2007

OK, I can't take it any more. I't time to refinish my console that is suffering from tht dreaded peeling paint issue. I used a nice spray paint found at a auto paint supply house for doing the job.

I completed the door pulls already and they look great. They have lasted nearly six months without any wear. I stripped them with MEK which easily removed the old latex before re-painting. I plan the same for the two consoles and the box cover.

Anyone have the skinny on removing it? Thanks in advance.

Tom?! Where'd you get that?! That's the very thing I've been trying to send Bill so folks could use it off line. It's 635M.
