yea man the paint was pretty much a perfect match. . .me and my girl went to like every autoparts store in teh area looking for the right color. . .. we ended up finding it at autozone and it was duplicor import spray. . .. but i don't remember the exact name but we spent like 2 hours at that place looking at every shade of silver they had....

thanks for the comments on my work. . .. actually i wish i could do it over so it could be better but for now it's good enough and i really don't want to try to hack out this screen and try again. . .eh. .lol

Where do you put the PC (is it hidden)?

Hey man yours IS diff than mine. I like yours and I like mine. I think its phat that there are more people getting interested in putting a PC in their Protege's. Your getting more attention than I did from mine, I guess its because you have more pics. I might need to get some tips from you on painting that without all the runs I got and the name and color you used. I had mine professionally done but I think I want to change colors now . Lets see some pics of the hardware and everything installed. I got my VFD and mounted it, but I'll post pics after I am done with it. You're gunna want one too once you see mine.

Not to drag attention away from your install, but heres pics of my install with the same screen: http://www.mazdamp3.com/vbb225/showthread.php?s=&threadid=23748

You plan on painting the buttons? And did you put a clear coat on top or not? looks GREAT man and good luck with everything else, now the hard part comes.
