pics of my painted dash trim

I was pretty tired of the stock black, so I painted it gunmetal/something. Put on 2 coats of primer, 4 coats of paint, and 4 coats of clear coat. I had it for about 2 months and no problems with cracking or anything else. Pics are on my web page, dont be affraid to sign my guest book

Dash Pics

The dash looks fantastic bro. If I didn't have wood grain I would do that to mine. Have you though about doing your gear shifter bezel, instrument cluster bezel and or maybe your window switch bezels?

Just an idea

Wow, excellent work. Nicely done indeed. If I didn't already have the carbon fiber dash kit, I would try this.

the dash does not feel sticky when its hot, it feel fine, no problem with scratches or anything. I did the vents in the dash and will be doing the door stuff and the bezel.

I painted mine a while back using a plastic laquer paint from a company called SEM. they have plastic paint and bumper paint. Both will work and the paint is flexable so it won't crack. It was done over a year ago with no probs. You can kinda se it in these pics:
