i was so tired of the dash being blue and everything else black that today i decided to paint it black...i went and bought some gloss black paint from home depot for about .97 and was a little skeptical of how it would come out but i must say i was very impressed...here are a few before and after pics....
before: http://i997.photobucket.com/albums/a...t/IMAG0212.jpg http://i997.photobucket.com/albums/a...t/IMAG0211.jpg http://i997.photobucket.com/albums/a...t/IMAG0221.jpg http://i997.photobucket.com/albums/a...t/IMAG0223.jpg http://i997.photobucket.com/albums/a...t/IMAG0222.jpg after: http://i997.photobucket.com/albums/a...t/IMAG0226.jpg http://i997.photobucket.com/albums/a...t/IMAG0227.jpg http://i997.photobucket.com/albums/a...t/IMAG0228.jpg http://i997.photobucket.com/albums/a...t/IMAG0225.jpg |

What did you use to paint the dash with? It looks super glossy. I was thinking about doing this as well.
|
eh, i hope you didnt use krylon or some black automotive paint. i hate glossy interiors cant see shit through the windshield
