Painting your dash? - Page 2

Iam going to paint mine, What I do is I scuff up the dash with fine sand paper, Paint it with regular spray paint and clear coat it. But thats only with the plastic pieces.

Duplicolor + clear coat. Looks great and has held up perfectly for a year now.

murrays has a better paint selection then autozone, if you have one around try them but autozone might have the color and will have the clear

ok so I just got back... got the paint....got the primer....got the clear... only problem now.... how the heck do you get to that darn vent bezel over by the passenger door?.... got the other three out, just cant get to the one over on the right side....am I gonna have to remove the entire dash to get to it or will it come out through the bottom side? any advice would be greatly appreciated cuz it is way too hot outside to just sit there trying to think up ways to jimmy it out... its 107 out today I think...

c'mon guys please I know plenty of you have done this... someone's gotta have the answer...

Screwdriver, just pry it out gently, around 5 and 7 o clock are the clips, but you can do it if you do it gently..., the vynil will pop back after a few days...

Out of curiosity since no one mentioned this, what ballpark number would someone be looking at to have the dash and center counsel professionally painted
