Well, you have to take it ALL apart. Once you get access to the speedo assembly, the clear plastic lens pops off with a screwdriver via the clips on the top. Then the piece that you want to paint pops off the same way. Now paint it with 2-4 coats of just regular spraypaint and a few coats of clearcoat will be sufficient. I think that silver/gray/chrome,etc, looks phat, but thats IMHO. Let it dry for a few hours and put it all back. It's not that hard, just time consuming.

If you want the job to look nice paint the interior the same as the exterior. If yours cars gray then put some gray accents around the dash. My **** is blue and yellow. The blue on the inside is the same paint that I'm using to spray the outside with. Be different and not paint it silver like every one else.

dont forget to sand the pieces and make sure there is no grease or oil... u used scotchbrite the green pad to do it
and u used bodyshop paint... i got pics just email me

YEa titanium is what i was hoping to use. i don't liek silver cuz it is too much of a contrast for me. My car looks stock to most people.

Use a mild detergent to wash it off also

anyone know of a titanium spray paint thats similar to the "silvermist" maxima color,....me and the other guy want this color

FAST4EN

check an autoparts store...maybe several parts stores...if you're really desperate, ask a body shop and see if they can buy some in a spray paint version or just get them to paint is that color for like $50 (the expensive way)

Id like to see what some of you have done. My pics of my dash are being developed. I will post them when I get them back on Tuesday. I just re-painted my dash and my instrument cluster last night and it looks tight! I used charcoal metallic paint on the black trim around my white guages. Gives it the "Titanium" look. I also have new bulbs that are 2x brighter than the old ones for my guages. You'll See Soon.


This is a before pic:
Silver Metallic... Notice the 1994 Dash kit?
