Sarah Palin was not present at the third annual Smart Girl Summit, which took place last Friday and Saturday at the Crowne Plaza downtown (not, as was reported by The Daily Beast, in Louisville). Neither was Michele Bachmann. Or even Ann Coulter.
It seemed almost ungracious for Bachmann and, especially, Palin to fail to make an appearance at a conference that was inspired directly by them. Their names were frequently invoked as inspiration for other women's political careers. Their images were admired on the big screen: Bachmann in Fire From the Heartland on Friday, Palin in The Undefeated on Saturday. (Fire From the Heartland is a straight-to-DVD project by Citizens United Productions, "America's premier conservative film production studio." The Undefeated recently flopped spectacularly at the box office and will be released on DVD and pay-per-view by the end of the month.) The 300 attendees even chose Bachmann as their Presidential candidate in a straw poll.
But in the absence of their actual leaders, the Smart Girls resorted to a celebration of political girlishness. The two closing speeches, the best spots on the speaking schedule, went to men -- internet publisher Andrew Breitbart on Friday, 2012 Presidential candidate Herman Cain on Saturday -- while the girls settled for supporting roles. After all, behind every great man is a great woman, right? Anyway, women have less time for running the country because they've got the most important job in the world: Staying at home with their children and grandbabies.
And yes, there was a smattering of pink suits in the grand ballroom.
The straw poll, a last-minute addition to the agenda, became the convention's biggest news hook. Jennifer DeJournett, cofounder and president of VOICES of Conservative Women and also chief pollster, pointed out that women outvote men at a rate of five percent. Her poll is the first of its kind: a chance to ask conservative women to select their favorite Presidential candidates (Republican only, it goes without saying) early in the election process -- more than six months before the start of primary season. On the back of each ballot, there was space for voters to offer advice to their favorite candidates.
Otherwise, the summit was a way for the conservative girls to promote their own special causes to a room of like-minded thinkers and to spend three hours receiving special training in "Fighting Like a Girl" for the 2012 campaign. (The training, naturally, came from a man, a representative from American Majority, a "political training institute.")
During the Friday afternoon session, Deneen Borelli, a Fox News commentator, congratulated her audience on not being ashamed to be called girls, and then jumped on her hobby horse attacking President Obama's energy plan. Former Congresswoman Marilyn Musgrave spoke movingly of spending time cuddling her young "grandbabies" (the youngest of which is named Reagan; the crowd applauded) and then began stumping for the Susan B. Anthony List, an anti-abortion political action committee of which she is Project Director. A true sign that this was a political speech: a reference to "my dear friend, Mike Pence." (You may recall Mike Pence -- he's the guy behind the widely publicized Pence Amendment, which would have de-funded Planned Parenthood, if only it weren't a bit of political showmanship that got precisely nowhere in the U.S. Senate.)
And of course St. Louisan Phyllis Schlafly was there, delivering her own patented brand of anti-feminism, crediting wonderful, time-saving inventions such as the washing machine for improving the lot of the modern woman. (God bless the Kitchen Aid mixer.) Not that women were ever really oppressed. Schlafly can tell you! She was there! At both Washington University, where she got her undergrad degree, and at Harvard, where she received her Masters, she was fully able to "keep up the guys" even while working in a munitions plant. (She naturally forgot to mention that when she was going to school, in the early 1940s, there were no guys, because they were all off fighting World War II.)
Schlafly, by the way, delivered a perfect example of "fighting like a girl." The feminists, she said, don't like Sarah Palin because she's accomplished, because she's got beautiful children and a "cool husband" and, most of all, because she's pretty.
Though Schlafly received a warm reception, she's been doing this same schtick forever. The true showstopper of the afternoon was a newcomer: Natalie Nichols, county clerk of Bowie County, Texas.

that donkey is also an alternative for "keyinit". Since the

The Celtic Story : The Will to Win Paperback
by Patrick Canning, Tommy Canning, Allan Canning
In this visually stunning full-length comic book story of Celtic Football Club, Tommy Canning conveys through his superb illustrations the rich history of the Glasgow club from its founding and early years through to the present day.
The landmark moments in the club's history are proudly recounted, including Brother Walfrid's efforts to start a football team to help the poor, the lifting of the European Cup, the winning of nine league titles in a row under Jock Stein and the breathtaking road to the UEFA Cup final in Seville in 2003.
The Celtic Story also brings to life many of the club's past greats - players such as Jimmy Quinn, Patsy Gallacher, John Thomson, Jimmy McGrory, Charlie Tully, Jock Stein and the Lisbon Lions - and celebrates its current stars, including Aiden McGeady, Shunsuke Nakamura, Artur Boruc and Stephen McManus.
In graphic detail, The Celtic Story recounts all the drama and glory of one of the world's most famous football clubs.

The year 1966 was a historical one for Harrison Memorial Hospital. Not only was the land purchased for the current hospital location, but construction began shortly after for the new facility on Millersburg Pike. And, in February of that same year, our HMH Auxiliary was formed.
The Woman's Club of Harrison County met Friday, Oct. 14 at Cedar Ridge Health Campus. Virgie Wells, vice president, presided over the luncheon and meeting. Cedar Ridge residents Willie Sims, Martha Frazier, Vivian Smith and Jerri Reis joined us for the event. We were delighted they could join us for the luncheon and enjoyed spending time with them. The meal was prepared and served by the staff of Cedar Ridge.

Autumn is a beautiful time in Kentucky gardens, but it can also be a messy time. The season brings piles of leaves from our trees and spent shoots from our flower beds.
The 1976 graduating class of Bourbon County High School has set Saturday, Oct. 29 from 6-11 p.m., as the date for their 40th class reunion.
It will be held upstairs in the Thyme Cafe annex, across the street from the cafe, at 500 Main St., Paris, Ky.
A social hour will be from 6-7 p.m. and a catered buffet will be served at 7 p.m. A cash bar will also be available.
10 years ago . . .
Births announced this week are: Chloe Nicole Hensley, Aug. 15, daughter of Carolina Nicole Honeycutt and Joseph Lee Hensley; Jeremiah Todd Wade, Sept. 13, son of Matthew Todd Wade and Kristy Williamson Wade; Abby Gayle Bruin, Sept. 29, daughter of Chad and Stephanie Bruin; Chloe Lynn Vance, Sept. 23, daughter of Chad and Emily Vance; Savannah Marie Graham, July 18, daughter of David Nick and Mandie Graham; Lukas Ray Jones, Sept. 19, son of Darcey Jones; Tanner Ryan Stroub, Sept. 11, son of Kevin and April Stroub.
Residents living in and around Cynthiana, Ky. can learn about their risk for cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, diabetes, and other chronic, serious conditions with affordable screenings by Life Line Screening. The Harrison County Extension Office will host this community event on Oct. 24. The site is located at 668 New Lair Road in Cynthiana.
Screenings can check for:
• The level of plaque buildup in your arteries, related to risk for heart disease, stroke and overall vascular health.
Some plants are prolific; some are not. Dandelion seed floats through the air and disperses far and wide in spring or summer; hundreds of tiny seeds burst from the spent blooms of cleome as a sphinx moth feeds at dusk. Woody plants can be a bit more elusive. I have never seen a Serbian spruce spring forth from a fallen cone nor an apple tree emerge from rotten fruit beneath its canopy. Starting woody plants from seed can be tricky.
Basic embroidery is going to be taught on Oct. 12 at 1 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. at the Harrison County Extension Office. There is no charge for the class. If you are interested in learning to embroider and have never tried it before, or if you need a refresher course, this is your opportunity. You will need to bring with you a 7" embroidery hoop, embroidery needles and a pair of scissors. If enough interest is shown in this class, an advanced class will be offered at a later date.

Kalispell is again hosting the Montana Gay Pride Celebration this year. Dubbed "Under the Rainbow," the event runs June 18 and 19, offering live music from singer-songwriter Camille Bloom, a pride parade and a drag show Saturday night.
This is the second consecutive year Kalispell hosts the annual Pride Weekend. Last time around, the gathering met with organized resistance, with local residents submitting a petition to city officials asking them to stop the parade. At the time, one individual complained to the City Council that such displays promote immorality, while opening the door to parades for rapists and pedophiles.
"Gay people can not procreate, they recruit, and they don't need to parade down Main Street flaunting their lifestyle," Charles Reed told Kalispell's City Council last April.
On the day of the parade last year, a smattering of protesters stood on the sidelines warning of fire and brimstone. Ultimately, though, the march went off without a hitch. And this time around, we're happy to report that we haven't yet heard of any organized resistance aiming to halt the festivities.

Buyer's Guide
Who Is This For?
Online Sellers
Procurement Professionals
Frequently Asked Questions
About the Buyer's Guide
What if you don't have a Buyer's Guide for my specific product?
The Buyer's Guide is applicable to essentially any product. While the product specific versions are optimized for their respective categories, the Buyer's Guide: All Categories is applicable to products that are not covered by any other guide.
How do I know which package I should buy?
The main difference between the different packages is the duration of access to the Online Advisor system.
If you want to get personal guidance throughout the importing process, you should consider the Business (60 days) or Enterprise (180 days) packages.
However, if you rather go at it alone, you might prefer the Startup package.
Can I upgrade to another package later? (i.e., order the Basic version now and upgrade to the Business version later)
Not in the sense that you can pay the difference. You can still order a new package, but you will save money by ordering one of the more comprehensive packages from start.
How many pages is the Buyer's Guide?
The current version of the Buyer's Guide is 85+ pages, in an A4 document format.
Which file format is provided?
As the Buyer's Guide is focused on case studies and tables, it is only provided in PDF. The Adobe PDF reader can be downloaded for free here.
I am looking to import goods from elsewhere in Asia (i.e., Vietnam or India). How is the Buyer's Guide relevant to my business?
While China takes the center stage of the Buyer's Guide, the process is applicable to essentially any country. Product regulations, technical specifications and freight procedures are broadly the same, regardless of the manufacturing country.
How is the Buyer's Guide delivered?
After your order is placed, you can download the Buyer's Guide directly from the 'My Account' section on Chinaimportal.com. You only need to login using the username and password you selected in the checkout.
Will we receive future Buyer's Guide updates free of charge?
Yes, you will get all the updates we make for the edition you order, in PDF format. Hence, you will get access to all updates we make for the 2017 edition of the Buyer's Guide. However, you will not get free access the Buyer's Guide 2018 edition nor to the Buyer's Guide 2017 (interactive e-course edition), which will be released later this year.
How can we access updated versions of the Buyer's Guide?
The Digital Download link, in your 'My Account' section, is automatically updated each time we make a revision to a Buyer's Guide.
Do you offer a money back guarantee or refunds?
Yes, but only if both of the following two conditions apply:
1. The customer has not downloaded the Buyer's Guide from the 'My Account' page
2. The customer requests a refund within 14 days from the purchase date
If the Buyer's Guide, or any of the other included files, has been downloaded, we don't offer a refund.
Does the Buyer's Guide: All Categories include the content from all the other Buyer's Guides?
No, the All Categories version don't include the content from all other guides.
Why should I get the Buyer's Guide: All Categories?
As we cannot cover all products, we leave one alternative open for all other product categories. The All Categories version of the Buyer's Guide is based on a process that can be applied to essentially any product.
However, the product specific Buyer's Guides, do contain information on regulations, case studies and specification sheets that are more relevant to the covered product.
What if we are not satisfied with the Buyer's Guide?
If you are not satisfied, we are very interested in your feedback. We are continuously working to improve our Buyer's Guides, and add content or implement changes, based on feedback from our customers.
What kind of customers are you working with?
Most of our customers are small to medium sized businesses, based in Europe, USA and the Asia Pacific region. However, we are also working with startups and small businesses in Latin America, the Middle East and Africa.
Do you have any customer references?
Yes, click here for customer references.
Supplier Check System
Why do I need the Supplier Check System?
The Supplier Check System can help you to categorize suppliers into the following categories:
- Excellent
- Qualified
- Average
- Not Qualified
The system is tweaked according to the industry. Hence, a supplier that may be classified as Excellent in one industry (or product category) may be only Average in another.
The Supplier Check System shall be used together with the sourcing process explained in the Buyer's Guide.
How do I use the system?
The system is based on data entered by the user, which includes, for example, the registered capital and the year of registration. This information can be found for free on various company websites.
In addition, the user is requested to answer a few questions about the supplier, and the information they present.
Based on the answers and information provided by the user, the system then makes a points assessment. A Supplier Assessment Report is then automatically generated and delivered by email to the customer (the report will be delivered to the email address provided during the purchase of the Buyer's Guide).
How can I access the Supplier Check System?
The Supplier Check System can be accessed by all customers from the 'My Account' section on Chinaimportal.com. Thus, you must order a Buyer's Guide and login before it can be used.
Do I have permanent access to the Supplier Check System
We may limit usage at some point in the future (either by implementing a credit system or adding a time limit). At this point, we have no plan to limit the system by either access time or usage.
Can the Supplier Check Reports be saved and stored for future usage?
Yes, the reports are automatically delivered by email.
Online Advisor
What is it?
When you order a Startup, Business or Premium Buyer's Guide Package, we provide you with online support through the Ticket system on ChinaImportal.com. We can answer your questions related to:
- Supplier Sourcing
- Fraud Prevention
- Product Development
- Shipping, Customs & Duties
- Product Certification, Labelling & Testing
Why is the Online Advisor service bundled together with the Buyer's Guide?
We know that you need questions answered, and guidance throughout the buying process. As such, the Online Advisor offers personal assistance, while the Buyer's Guide provide a written roadmap.
How can we access the Online Advisor service?
Go to the My Account page, login using the email address and password you set in the checkout and submit a support ticket. You can submit as many questions as you want, and we normally get back to you within 48 hours. Once we have responded, you will receive an email notification.
How much can I use the Online Advisor system?
The number of tickets you can use depends on which Buyer's Guide package you purchased:
- Basic: Not included (0 tickets)
- Startup: 1 ticket
- Business: 6 tickets
- Premium: 20 tickets
How do you define '1 ticket'?
A single ticket is defined as one or several questions, related to a specific topic. For example, you may send several questions related to the same topic, within one ticket. However, unrelated questions or other requests requires that you open a second ticket.
That being said, we are flexible, but must limit the usage to deliver a quality service for a reasonable price.
For how long are the tickets valid?
The tickets are valid for 1 year (i.e., 365 days), from the date of purchase. For example, if you order your Buyer's Guide on 2017-03-01, you must use all your tickets on or before 2018-03-01. Tickets that are not used after this point will automatically expire.
Can we buy more tickets after we run out?
Yes. Please Contact us for pricing and more information.
What kind of guidance on product regulations can you offer?
We can provide general guidance on safety standards and labeling requirements in the European Union and the United States. However, we offer no guarantee that the information we provide is accurate.
When possible, we share the information we have, which in most cases can guide the customer in the right direction. That said, we do not engage in extensive research, or the practical steps of the product compliance procedures.

Asian and emerging markets have hit the headlines recently in a way that many investors won't be used to. Currencies and stock markets have been falling. The Indonesian rupiah, Brazilian real, Indian rupee and South African rand have all fallen quite markedly against the dollar this year. At the time of writing the Indonesian stock market has fallen almost 10 per cent over just two days.
One thing these countries have in common is large budget deficits, essentially meaning they rely on foreign money to fund themselves. This hasn't been a problem in the past few years as cheap money from the US Federal Reserve's quantitative easing (QE) programme has helped sustain them. But now talk of tapering, or reducing, the rate of QE has led to foreign money leaving these "hot" markets.
It is never pleasant to see the value of an investment fall, particularly one that has done well in recent years. Asian markets emerged from a huge financial crisis in the late 1990s and have since become the darling of many investors' portfolios. One has only to look at the investment trust sector a few months ago, when many Asia-focused funds were trading on a premium, to gauge the extent of their popularity. In the world of open-ended funds, First State and Aberdeen have been trying to slow the tide of money flowing into their Asian and emerging market funds by raising initial charges. I recently caught up with Hugh Young, manager of the Aberdeen Asia Pacific Fund, via telephone from Singapore to get a view on what is happening on the ground.
Mr Young is a consummate professional, immensely experienced, and has seen just about everything this area can throw at you. I found him remarkably relaxed, neither particularly bearish nor bullish, although it should be noted that he only considers the prospect for individual companies, rather than the stock market or economy as a whole. Mr Young believes it is near impossible to forecast what will happen from an economic point of view and the effect this could have on companies. He would rather concentrate on the companies and whether they can weather the bad times that inevitably come along during the business cycle.
That said, he understands that the area has been hurt by the unintended consequences of quantitative easing. He also cites recent downgrades to company earnings forecasts as a factor in recent stock market falls. Indeed, emerging markets have underperformed their developed counterparts over the past two years. However, Mr Young points out that the balance sheets of both large and smaller companies are in better shape in the East than the West. Asian companies have always been better prepared for a worsening economy, he says.
Recently, he has been building exposure to mining and materials companies, investing in underperformers such as Rio Tinto and BHP Billiton. He feels that management at these companies are at last getting back to basics and focusing on shareholders, rather than splurging money on expensive acquisitions.
In Asia he has been topping up two Singaporean banks which have particularly strong balance sheets. For exposure to India he is happy to hold a position of about 10 per cent, partly in the Aberdeen Global Indian Equity Fund. He does despair of Indian politics, which has been holding the country back for many years, but he is happy with the underlying companies in the fund. As for China, he would be prepared to increase exposure if corporate governance were better.
Mr Young is a long-term investor seeking out high quality companies capable of surviving through thick and thin. Portfolio turnover tends to be low and many companies have been held for more than 10 years in Aberdeen's range of Asian funds. He is happy with all the underlying companies he holds, and he is a manager I would trust with my money for the long term.
I believe those investing regularly in Asian and emerging markets should continue to do so, but for those seeking to add a lump-sum investment there could be more downside yet, and a more opportune time to invest might present itself. The region is starting to look cheap, according to our analysis, but I would prefer it to look slightly cheaper before becoming more positive.

2K Czech, developers of the Mafia series, are making some major changes to their infrastructure, moving their Prague office to Brno and shifting several developers over to the 2K headquarters in California. After initial speculation, 2K have now confirmed the reports. "We have relocated and consolidated our 2K Czech team from our Prague facility to centralise resources in our location in Brno. Additionally, we are transferring some development resources from Prague and Brno to 2K headquarters in Novato, CA," "This transition will both strengthen the integration of the 2K Czech team with our award winning development teams, and better align cross-functional business practices. As part of this realignment, we are adjusting our staffing levels, resulting in the elimination of some positions." 2K Prague is now set to close, with 10 key 2K Czech developers heading over to 2K's central office in Novato, California. That's a lot of 2K's in one sentence. I'll stop now. The company was apparently working on Mafia 3, the next installment in the popular series. There's no news on how these major changes will affect that game's production. We'll keep you in the know with any further information. |

Project: Dyeing dove grey interior to imola red & black
So lately, I have been toying with the idea of changing my interior color from dove grey to Black and Imola Red combination. I was trying to decide between the cinnamon and imola but with my car being TIAG, I do not think cinnamon would work out. I know this will be a long process and I have gathered information from reading other members' threads about dyeing their interiors to different colors. I spoke with Khristie from leatherique and tried to get as much information about dyeing the interior and making sure that the dye colors that they are about to send me will match the OEM BMW color since I read somewhere about this guy who was going to do an imola red dye but then decided to go with cinnamon instead since he was told that the red dye that he wanted did not have enough red pigments due to goverment EPA restriction stuff. I asked Khristie about that and she told me that what they meant was that they could not match the deep red interiors that some other cars have but luckily for us, they have the exact BMW OEM Imola red color. So long story short, I decided to go ahead and do this dreadful project. It will take time and I will try my best to be as detailed as possible updating you guys.
I purchased the KIT #4 (48 oz of dye, 32 oz Rejuvinator Oil, 32 oz Prestine Clean and 32 oz Prepping Agent) and 1/2 oz of Crack Filler with the Imola Red Custom Color) and also a quart of BMW OEM Black Matt finish for the plastic pieces etc. Acrylic brushes from a hobby store... Air brush kit and a small compressor from home depot... http://www.homedepot.com/catalog/pro...d276af_300.jpg http://www.homedepot.com/catalog/pro...c1a464_300.jpg I plan to start taking out the door panels and front/rear seats this saturday and start prepping them. WISH ME LUCK! |
I STARTED TO DISASSEMBLE THE REAR PANELS... CLEAN THEM AND PREP THEM FOR PAINTING TOMORROW... REAR PANELS DISASSEMBLED http://i1156.photobucket.com/albums/...7/497d0910.jpg http://i1156.photobucket.com/albums/...7/429f9da7.jpg CLEANED AND DEGREASED THEM WITH THIS AND USED SCOTCH BRITE PADS. WASHED THEM WITH WATER AND THEN WIPED WITH A CLEAN TOWEL THEN USED MY WIFE'S HAIR DRYER TO DRY THEM. http://i1156.photobucket.com/albums/...7/cc37f5b1.jpg http://i1156.photobucket.com/albums/...7/94c12883.jpg LABELED ALL THE SCREWS THAT WERE TAKEN OUT IN A ZIPLOCK BAG http://i1156.photobucket.com/albums/...7/79306ea0.jpg http://i1156.photobucket.com/albums/...7/c201d50c.jpg STARTED TO DISASSEMBLE THE PASSENGER FRONT DOOR PANEL http://i1156.photobucket.com/albums/...7/95397542.jpg http://i1156.photobucket.com/albums/...7/6325890d.jpg http://i1156.photobucket.com/albums/...7/985485b6.jpg http://i1156.photobucket.com/albums/...7/d3d12a59.jpg I will continue cleaning the front door panels tomorrow and disassemble the driver side. I plan to start painting the vinyl part of the front and rear panels and maybe some small platic pieces will be sanded down and painted as well... Time to rest. It was a productive day and here's how chaotic my basement looks like now! http://i1156.photobucket.com/albums/...7/12456105.jpg |
Today, I continued where I left off last night. I am trying to get as much things done so that I can concentrate in dyeing the seats and the door panel inserts. I also just bought a black carpet set so that I would not have to dye the grey carpet and have the risk of changing the texture of it. Plus I think that the real oem black carpet would look a lot better inside the car vs a dyed carpet. FINALLY GOT ALL THE DORR PANELS CLEANED AND DISASSEMBLED. (DRYING) http://i1156.photobucket.com/albums/...7/d3d12a59.jpg http://i1156.photobucket.com/albums/...7/ab2cd24a.jpg AND SOME MORE SMALL PLASTIC PIECES CLEANED AND DRYING http://i1156.photobucket.com/albums/...7/1b4ff54c.jpg WHILE WAITING FOR THE PIECES TO DRY, I STARTED TO RIT DYE THE REAR DECK.

So tonight (Monday), after coming home from work, I started to tackle the front and rear arm rests. Took them apart and sanded the bottom part of it to get it ready for painting. The leatherique products got delivered today. Started to clean the parts that will be dyed Imola red and applied leatherique leather rejuvinator. All of the pieces were stored in plastic bags to let the rejuvinator soak for 3 days to lift up all the dirt. Did the first coat of paint with the front and rear arm rests. My goal for tomorrow is to deal with the front seats. Try to disassemble them and hopefully get to apply the rejuvinator to them as well.

Throw in a race seat(or stock one) and se how fast your car will be with all that weight out !!!! Subscribed:)
Subscribed. Can't wait to see the outcome, may even be doing this to my car when I have the time to do so (thinking Summer 2013).. So this will definitely be helpful. Looking good so far!
I do have one question for you, though - what did the guys at Leatherique say when you requested Imola Red dye? I remember a member here on E46fanatics doing his interior dyeing project in Cinnamon since Leatherique had said something about Imola Red not being to hold the dye together all too well over time for certain reasons. |
I hope you're ready for the poor results of Leatherique (regardless of application style).
The leather found originally in your M3 was colored by pigmentation (painting) and then a top coat (clear coat, matte). Any product that is a one step solution is far from proper or of quality. http://www.m3forum.net/m3forum/showthread.php?t=344169 http://www.m3forum.net/m3forum/showp...1&postcount=15 http://www.m3forum.net/m3forum/showp...5&postcount=23 |
So my question is... How do you explain these? These guys had leatherique applied to their interiors and it has been more than a year now and their interior looks great still.. It might have just been the way you prepped your interior... I did not just come up with that conclusion because I personally spoke with them... http://www.m3forum.net/m3forum/showthread.php?t=355995 http://forum.e46fanatics.com/showthread.php?t=805942 |
There were no issues with my prepping. That was clearly documented in the links I provided. Regardless, sandpapering your leather to death like most Leatherique users do is not how leather restoration is done. It is not a good product which I'm telling you from experience. If you're happy with it... fine. But someone who is prepared to buy the OEM Imola pieces strikes me as someone with very high attention to detail and quality. Goodluck and I guess if you're not happy with it you can peel it off and do it again plastidip style. |
Last night, I finished painting the front and rear arm rests to black. All the leather pieces that were rejuvenated were taken out from the plastic bags and sprayed with pristine clean. Wiped with a rag dipped in warm water and dried with a wiping cloth. Decided to put the cleaned pieces in the garage to let them dry. I tried to see how the dye works and used it for the arm rests inserts. I applied the dye with a cloth and did 1 coat for the front arm rest inserts and 2 coats for the rears. I plan to finish it off spraying it with HVLP spray gun with a compressor.

So far this does not look too shiny to me...
