jackso11 Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 Hi guys, another question about dash painting. Well not so much painting as finishing. paints4u.com offer matt or satain laquer. I am after a similar to original look but am not sure which to go for....has anyone used either of these? Or what would your opinion be...satain or matt?

jackso11 Posted August 3, 2006 Author Share Posted August 3, 2006 anybody got any pics of matt or satin finished dash paint jobs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisSZ Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 Matt for the top of the dash (to reduce reflections), satin for the rest (looks better and doesn't mark as easily as matt) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackso11 Posted August 3, 2006 Author Share Posted August 3, 2006 the top of the dash? which bit? I am not painting the whole dash....just the panels that normally get painted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisSZ Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 Oh!! In that case I'd definately go satin :) I painted the top of my dash with Hammerite VHT matt black paint to cut down the reflections on the windscreen - works an absolute treat :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackso11 Posted August 3, 2006 Author Share Posted August 3, 2006 do you have pictures of that? Does the whole dash look good painted? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisSZ Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 I could take some but probably wont show much - it looks standard appart from the fact that it's matt black! The only place you can really see the difference is on the side of the instrument binnacle and around the passanger side air vent - both are areas where the standard finish meets the matt black finish. I can try and get a few pics if you like? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackso11 Posted August 8, 2006 Author Share Posted August 8, 2006 nobody else got an opinion on this? or any photos of a matt finished dash? There are so many glossy ones on here but no satin or matt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
