Any suggestions on the type of clear? Will 2k work? Duplicolor?Some small details that make huge differences. After the shiny new walnut shift knob the ashtray and heated seat control walnut trim items were showing dullness ageing / scratches and not as vibrant. Took them off, wet sanded with 600, shot 5 heavy coats of clear, let dry two days, wet sanded with soapy warm water using 1000 then 2000 grit, and then a good hand polish with compound. Perfect match now. Wish I had taken some before pics.

Any auto grade should be good. Prep is key and let it dry a few weeks then color sand the clear and buff to look best.Any suggestions on the type of clear? Will 2k work? Duplicolor?
Where did you get the lip?
Pick n pull...lucky findWhere did you get the lip?
No Lincoln LSes in the pick and pull yards in my area ...if you ever go back to to get something again... If it's not to much trouble do you think you could grab up the white plastic lock washers that the interior door panel plastic clips lock into ...Some are easy to take off but some are a real PITA...busted quite a few trying to take them out the other day...don't think there available anymore ...Pick n pull...lucky find
Check if your drain tube is blocked up first...could be plugged...pressurized air could blow the blockage out maybeI got the LS back on the road after sitting for about a year in my driveway.
Threw in some Mobil1 5w20, new coils, new plugs, new PCV valve and have new o2's to put in if I can borrow a lift for an hour when all this shit blows over, also installed my Diode Dynamic LED's low-beams, just waiting on my LED fog lights and housing and looking at using my buddies 3D printer to somewhat make a bracket so I can mount them on my 06 bumper.
I notice I keep getting water in the driver side front door so I'm assuming the weather stripping is shot which is unfortunate.
