Here is some pics of my dash that was painted hyper blue to match car....

 

Very Nice Looking. I am going to paint mine Indi Blue to match my exterior.

 

that is extremely nice! if you do not mind me asking, how much did that run ya?

 

$65 for paint and primer and scotch brite pad....labor...free my cousin paints cars so i took dash apart and took him the parts....

 

Where does your cousin live? And does he drink beer?
Looks nice!

 

Looks pretty cool. Nice to know people in the auto body business... I don't. Got a quote on having the dash and oval door inserts painted and it was pushing $800. Don't want it THAT badly.

BTW... hate to be the one to break this to you, but... you forgot one of the toggle dividers.

 

BTW...Thanks for pointing that out about the toggle switch....i chose to not have one painted to be different....

 

i especially like the toggles. Adds a little eye catcher to the lower portion of the stack. very cool!!

was there a final sealant over the paint for the gloss effect?

 

clear coat just like what is on cars....was used for dash and toggles...

 

would you mind sharing a how-to ... i want to paint mine too

 

i painted my dash and door panels.
and let me tell you taking it all apart is a job but the final product if you have someone that knows how to paint or you can paint is amazing.

the hyper blue looks sweet next to the anthratic (spell?)

 

is there a way to take the door panels apart??? How do u do that?? any info would be apprecaited

 

Looks beautiful - nice job!!! I love the painted toggles...

From what I've read, the oval on the door panels don't come off without doing major surgery (then you have to use epoxy or some strong adhesive to re-attach them). Most mask and paint them on the door panel then reinstall the panel... Hope this helps

 

they panels are on with a plastice weld type thing.
you have to drill out the welds.
painting them on the door panels can be a hassel and the the finish could be affected but i dont really know. the pieces are easier to work with off of the doors. i used construction adhesive to put them back together and they feel even more solid than before.
