Spraying Dash

[fri3ndly]

I reckon your photoshop with just part of the dash blue looks pretty good, its unique too why not buy a second dash piece and spray that blue and if your not keen then spray your original one silver. I'm sure a scrappy will have one for cheap money.

 

Oh dont! Lol

 

I am now thinking blue will be better as there are no other silver parts in the interior or on the exterior for that matter.

 

I have bright blue tailored car mats (on their way) and dyed black carpet. I am thinking the blue dash would bring out the cream colour of the seats more...

 

I hate these kind of decisions. I think I will spray it blue first and if I dont like it go silver.

im going to do one part at a time. thinking about the auto surround first to get my technique up then be brave and do the rest of the surround a week later.

im up to speed with taking the dash out but how do you get the fans and switches out or do you mask them up?

The round vents just unclip from behind, just use a flat headed screw driver to easy the clips off. Other parts unscrew from behind, an easy DIY job to do.

Im looking at colouring my dash. i think a gunmetal grey metallic will look best imo.

mines a silver car so cant stray too far without it looking c##p.

 

 

How about this?

Its a silver grey metallic with a little dark blue added, and covered in matt lacquer. I got my local body shop to mix it for me to match the gaps in my Lexus wheels.

 

They did all the work for me, which only cost £60 over all, which wasn't bad at all IMO.

ahh bugger so not from a can then

No, sorry, but I'm sure there are plenty of silver/greys in cans which can be covered in matt lacquer though. I think its the choice of lacquer that really makes the difference IMO.

have a look at my garage.

I sprayed my dash toyota silver no2.

 

I think it looks excellent.

[supra_si]

ai that looks very nice i like the handbrake too. im looking at adding that touch too.

Iv been umming and ahrring and cant decide what colour to spray my dash.

 

I have Arden Blue like my car colour and Toyota Silver No.2

 

What colour should I spray it?

 

I am sure Silver would look better but something is yelling out BLUE!

 

If you are under 25 and go clubbing choose blue. otherwise see next option.

 

If you are 25 - 35 choose the other color.

 

If you are 35 - 45 choose silver.

 

Over 45? (I doubt you are) consider a car change.

'T414 Storm Gray' isn't it?

 

I'd imagine there's a UK version of the same thing. Just need the make etc.
