What do you mean you killed it??

 

I spray painted it red and didn't like the color so I painted it black but it didn't look like I expected it to so I tried flattening the whole dash with sand paper and spraying some more paint on it. know its uneven it has to many coats of paint and it just looks horrible and I think it's easier to buy a new dash. Or would there be a solution instead of dropping 300 dollars.

 

And check with this guy, he might still have his for sale.

The blue On the dash. My computer just broke yesterday and I'm using an iPad I'll post pics as soon as I get my computer back. Would sanding it all down work or would you not advise that

 

Since its a rubberish material I wouldn't sand it, unless it's a last resort, but use paint thinner or ascetone first, that should work, and did u use vinyl paint?? Or basic Paint??

 

Just the basic paint.

 

Oh ok, yea, it won't turn out that good with basic Paint, and cracks very easy, I used duplicolor vinyl paint, can buy it at pretty much any auto parts stores, autozone, O'Reillys etc

 

Awesome. One more question it just came to mind would I be able to vinyl wrap the dash would that be an easier solution

 

That's a good question, I don't see why it wouldn't work,

 

I'm going to try the vinyl wrap but first I'm going to use paint thinner to leave it smooth.

 

Sounds like a plan, keep us updated

 

Will do. Ill post Pics when I get the computer back.

 

Ok cool

 

Throttle body cleaner will take the paint right off. Don't need to buy a new panel

 

I would pull it off and paint it that way, alot easier,
And use alcohol or paint prep cleaner before painting it,
Use 4-5 coats of paint(10-15 mins in between coats)
Wait a few hours then 4-5 coats clear( if you want too), let dry over night then install next day

 

this is new to me .. about interior stuff .. can u please show me or were to look how to took the dash a part .. I really appreciated a lot .. thank you ,,,,

 

Hey cm does That rubber peace pop right of? I tried a couple Yeats ago but didnt wanna wreck it, then was satisfied with black,, still am Just curious, and who knows one Day haha

 

If your talking about the dash peice yes it does, all you do is remove your radio faceplate, gauge pod, and 2 AC vents, them start pulling up at one corner working towards the other side

 

cmturner, how'd you paint the door? Did you just tape off and paint, or does it pop off?

 

I removed the door panel, and taped around it, it does not pop off

And cm I gotta remove center pod ??

yes you have to remove the AC vents on each side, gauge pod, and the center radio cover

 

I'm pretty sure he ripped it all off, just find one of his threads

 

And cm I gotta remove center pod ??

 

Also redid my seats to match

 

Nice work!

 

How did you do seats like that champ? and dam my headliner combine with your interior would be soo sexxy, black and blue for life!!

 

the duplicolor vinyl/fabric paint, same as the dash pad, just sprayed the blue, then taped it off and sprayed the black,
and my next project is the headliner lol, and agree black and blue!!!!

 

How are you gonna do the headliner, you also gonna paint it??!

 

Yep, i originally was planning to reupholster it, but its to much work for that, going to paint it since everything epse has turned out so good, and all the little trim Peices im going to dip to match everything else

 

It will all be black, the rubber trim peice around the sunroof will be blue, and then all the other trims will be dipped

 

My only question is, for the seats, does any of the paint rub off? Especially the black.

 

Hasnt yet, and shouldnt, my dash has been done for over a year no problems, so doubt it will rub off the seats

 

my god... I need that done to mine but in orange... I swear to god I have yet to find an orange close to sunset pearl that I want to use on my car. Did you take the seats out of the car to do them? I'd assume so, otherwise it'd be messy.

 

yea definetly take the seats out or any part you want to paint, take it out of the car, trust me, other wise you will have little paint specs all over the inside of the car lol
