make a better firewall pad

 how to make a that aftermarket  made  firewall look more like the factory one

first cut pad

remove the black rubber save the jade padding

now jet three can of Napa 4004 stone guard  and applied to the top in coat let each coat dry before doing next one

will take three to four coat  but when done it will look like this( do remove all punch out needing removal before spraying)

       

now you have a pad that has the same type of sprayed on textured look as the factory pad did
