    On a side note, I was painted mine like the Daytona editions (Silver) and it turned out nice, but I used a textured paint. If I do it again, I will not go that route again. It makes it to hard to clean. The microfiber towels stick to it like glue, and paper towels leave lint all over it. Keep it smooth and some form of semi-gloss or flat, and use Adhesion Promoter.

    Thanks Chris. The advice about not using textured paint is a good one and makes sense. Drew was going for the slick look on his GTP, but I so wanted stucco dash trim in the SS.
