    i did the white face conversion.. there is a link that talks about how to do it...

    this is the one i followed
    http://mmb.maverick.to/showthread.php?t=5317

    and it worked awesome..
    you will need gloss white spray paint.. and flourescent orange, to help the whie get a little brighter

    and 1 can of flat black spray paint for the instrument panel.. might as well paint it while it is out

    take your time trimming the overlays.. and spray paint the faces gloss white BEFORE you put the overlays on.. this will help if you trim it wrong, and any bare spots not covered.
