    Thanx for the welcome guys!
    Well this a very special paint, not just anybody can do it. but u can try.....
    Go to Lowes(lumber co.) buy 15 rattle cans of VALSPAR Satin black and 2
    rattle cans of RUSTOLEUM RED GLOSS ,(4 the wheels) little bit of sandpaper, 4 rolls of 1.5"painters blue paper tape and have-at-it! O I almost forgot, I bought a $9.95 orbital sander from Harbor Frt. along with some hook-n-loop sand paper(bout $100.00 worth of stuff total) old news paper.
    I painted the inside with Gloss black and the dash with DUPLACOLOR GLOSS RED(Advance Auto)
    Now everybody ask me what color are you gonna paint it?
    I said it is painted!:)
