Painted dashes make you look like a ghetto 16 yr old. In a few years you'll realize the error of your ways, and try to correct it by finding unpainted parts.

huh... how odd. I bought a blue dash off ebay to replace my slashed up black dash. I remember painting it black ,and it looks exactly like stock. I guess I'm just a ghetto sixteen year old that can't find a black dash.

Dam then I guess I should get rid of my ghetto dash also. Cant be looking a 16yr old ghetto hood at my age

pico's dash is sex

[jdmaccordnut]

Oh, I thought you meant bright colors like yellow, blue, or red. Those look okay, but I kinda doubt they'll hold up as well as the real deal.

[chowder]

my dash is black stock hahaha

[jpetrovic]

Pico... Your dash is bitchin.

[turabaka]

my dash is black stock hahaha

Technically so was mine, but some asshole thought it would be cool to put out cigarettes with it before I bought it. hence why I was forced to buy a blue one.

Pico your dash is teh sexyness.

you need to use the correct dash paint, look at eastwood .com, you are supposed to use the cleaner,then the prep,then the paint, their stuff is permanent.

[skittlez]

yeah pico's is nice. as for not holdin up, any paint can be scratched or scraped but if its done right with care it will hold for years and then maybe just a touch-up job. i painted my girls interior about 2 years ago and it still looks like it did when it was put in. as for the initial post, it wasnt about painted dashes as a whole i know a lot of guys have em. i was talkin about the kind of paint, seriously looks like stone when used with a gray primer and feels like a fine grit sandpaper.

x2 on Pico's dash looking amazing

[Pico]

Thanks for the complements guys.
I like the textured paint idea skittlez post up some pics when you get a chance, I still have somemore interior parts that I want to paint to patch the dash and I'd like to see how yours came out.

All black look sexy pico!


Not as sexy ast picos but painted the lower half and center console bout 4 years ago and even with the kids getting in and out no probs.

anyone think the cluster cover would look cool wrapped in leather with a black dash? i was going to have my teg wheel wrapped anyway eventually. i can do the cover,but i'll let the local upholstery shop do the wheel, 40 bucks wrapped and stiched in black leather.

hm dont have an opinion on that, thats more like somethin you would have to see before you could say. but it definitely sounds unique though i know ive never seen it before.

get red sitching on the wheel and it will look awesome! and yeah if the cover is done right it would look nice
