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.
both....still dryin and the camera is playin tricks
Nice! What kind of paint did you use?
That prep work is amazing. Looks great!
im impressed that takes allot those are somwierd angels whil painting above the steering wheel.
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 :D
Nice work Kevin, easier than taking that whole dash out. Looks much better
PS. clear your inbox. Was trying to send you a pm.
gotcha, yeah...the whole process including snacking on food was about 10 hours...4 of which was masking everything, especially the windshield...what a pain...and everything is original except the painted dash now lol
Damn, that's a LOT of work!! Looks great though. Nice work!
Duplicolor makes a vinyl and fabric paint...used 1 1/2 cans total at about 5 coats. I think it worked pretty well but there were in a few spots where it dried sort of glossy where I prob used too much...Quote:

My car came factory with a black dash... was it part of a package ? specific years ? option ?
