Airbrushed Rear Trim Panel


There has been many ideas and products produced to alter the look of the Rear Trim Panel. Norm wanted a change so came up with this idea of making the panel black to match the newly acquired dash mat. We checked around to see how that could be accomplished and finally talked to our friend Luis, who had airbrushed the panther on the radiator crossmember. He said no problem, he uses a paint that can be applied to the felt without changing the texture. After airbrushing the panel, we decided that maybe it needed a little more and that is when we came up with the idea of putting something on it that is music oriented - hey it is basically a speaker cover! So, Luis proceeded to airbrush some music symbols on the panel. When finished Norm sprayed the securing clips black to match.
