Console shifter conversion

The middle photos show the first layer of glass (about 4 sheets of mat thick). Pretty ugly. I rough power-sanded that down after it had cured and did a second layer - sanded again, and then did a smooth coat of resin without any mat - sanding to shape. I used this cheep-o multi-tool from Harbor Freight for the sanding. what a great little thing for under $20. Used an old dremel tool with the tiny cutting wheel to cut off the excess material.

My console was pretty roughed up with scratches and gouges so I sanded off most of the original texture and sprayed with a Rustolium fine texture black. For not working with it before, I was happy with how it came out. Now if I can just get it into the car right...

Wow! That looks great friend. Looks like it was never even damaged. If mine comes out half as nice I'll be pumped. Thanks for sharing and for the tips.
