Painted Dash

02 Stang · 07-26-2006, 04:19 AM

I know there is a how-to section somewhere around here, but I wanted to get real personal experiences. Who has done this, can I see pictures, and was it hard to do?

i did it, it was really easy. pop the stuff off. really light sand...i wanted to leave the factory texture to it. clean it really really well. 2 coats of primer. 3 coats of the color. i went to a paint shop and got a spray can of the exact color of my car. and 2 coats of clear. let it set for a night or so and pop it all back in. easy as that.

Looks nice on you're car, does that mean it's not possible to paint the rest without getting paint everywhere?

you could do it if you want. you would want to take it all out of the car though. i just didnt want to do any more than that, i ilke how mine looks. 561boii painted his whole dash. we were just talkin about this in another thread. CLICK

I guess I'm going to have to wait for him to see how to do the entire thing ... I also need to settle on a nice color. You're color looks awesome on the car, and I don't want mine to be all one color ... Like Black and Red or something

Then again, that might clash with the blue?

BLAH! lol

Yep atlantic blue is da bomb!!!

anyways how much was your paint that you got i wanna do the same thing but a little more two toned charcoal, how is the paint holding up any scratches or anything? Hows it feel when you touch it stuff like that, thanks!

Hey Turkey, I really like your sig pic. That's a real clean 'Stang and a really good picture. You took it? It's tight cuz it looks as if it's tilted to one side like it was sliding or something!
