hey what kind of paint should i use to paint my dash?

[pearldrop]

Do you have an air compressor? The only way I would do it (and the way I did it) is with professional quality paint. I used Sikkens interior paint that I got from United Auto Electric in Bellingham. They can mix any color that you want using any paint code or there are thousands of colors to look through in the paint books. You have to mix the paint with a reducer and then spray it through a spray gun. It is almost impossible to mess up, it doesn't run and it dries almost instantly.
The important part is making sure you scuff it lightly with a red/maroon scotchbrite pad and make sure it is very, very clean.
I have a spray gun if you need to borrow it but I can't loan you my compressor. The paint was about $60 a quart and the reducer was $40 for a gallon. You mix it 50/50 so the reducer will last through 4 quarts of paint. I used barely more than 1 quart of paint to do my whole interior so it really doesn't take much.
If you need help, or more info just let me know.

thanks for the input hey one day you can come over and help tear apart my dash i have no clue how to do it i dont want to break it

what seats did you put in your accord they look comfey!

That is one thing that I will leave to you. I absolutely hate having to take dashes off and I still need to pull the dash in both the wagon and the Prelude to cover them in tweed.
Just give yourself a few days to take the dash off and stop before you get frustrated. If you try and do it all at once you will break stuff. The mechanics books give nine hours to remove and reinstall a dash so don't expect to get it done in one day.
If you wanted to check out the Prelude it is parked over at Hallmark Refining which is next to the Hostess Outlet on Cedardale road (by Karttrak).
I work at the Skagit Valley Herald and the Wagon is always parked out in front from 7:30 to 4:30.
