    Default Black Paint + Tape/Paper/Plastic (lots of it) + Time =...

    Got off work late this morning and while driving home I had the itch to paint something, saw the dash and said hmmmmmmmm.

    Tried taking out the dash but that was too big of a pain to do so I masked off everything and its mother...

    Wow nice job!
    Was it a beige/tan beforehand, or was it terribly faded?

    And in the pictures i can see some blotchiness, is that baceause it hasnt yet cured? or is that just the camera being a prick.

    Wow... can I just say, that looks amazing? Very nice work... I can't really see it up close, but the effect of painting that dash seems to update the interior by about 5 years. By the way, did you replace any of your wood, or is that original... such rich colors, I'm jealous
