The dash was still beige till I pulled it yesterday and took it apart with him so he could paint it and we could put the fabric on before putting it back together.

I will let him answer that one. I forget the brand. I know it was 2 different types. One for the harder plastics and one for the leather covered stuff.

Sorry cannot help on that one. It is an entire regulator assembly. Meaning a big frame with the motor and cables.

There is no simple fix.

the paint to use for the viynl parts is the duplicolorviynl and fabric paint.

for the harder plastics use the krylon fusion paint.

both paints bond chemically to their respective materials very well.

i didmy best to get around the button areas. i'll be working on the center console maybe this weekend. i hope i can find some nice carbon fiber trim in either red/black or regular carbon color to replace the woodgrain which is totally out of place now.

Can that do any damage as far as water seeping into the holes?
Anything is possible. Personally I don't think it was a bright idea, plus it looks nasty.
well this is a special post for our volvo brother S70driver. i agreed that my spark plug cover was pretty nasty and ratty looking so i decided to do something about it today. enjoy the pics.

well S70, i just wanna say that it definatley looks better than the pics show. i noticed that the volvo emblem looks crooked in the pic, but it is straight in person. i will be rounding off the corners, were the rivets are,with my dremel tool to smooth the look of it. tommorrow i will be painting the valve cover red so look for pics for that. this mod only cost me $7.50 and my time. i bet the coils will stay nice and cool. as for the water, i don't think water will effect anything unless i wash the engine and spray it in there.

I think it looks a ton better this way. After you round the edges maybe even paint the mesh red to match the rest.

i'm gonna paint the valve cover first and see how the preforated aluminum looks on it. and if anything i think i will paint the aluminum like a graphite which will be a little darker than silver.

I still don't like the cover. Still looks cheesey to me. Even rounding the edges wouldn't do it for me.

1. CF cover cool.

2. Anodized Aluminum cover, still cool.

3. I would even go as far as just painting it another color, with the right paint and prep work would look better.

Sorry just not a fan of hacking up engine parts like that.
