I WANT TO PAINT MY DASH ON MY 96. I LIKE THE LOOK OF BRUSHED ALUMINUM BUT I THINK THE PAINTED LOOKS BETTER SO I WAS WONDERING FROM THOSE THAT HAVE ALREDY DONE IT WHAT WOULD BE THE BEST COLOR TO USE. AND WHAT COMBO OF PRIMER/PAINT/CLEARCOAT TO USE. PRODUCT NAMES WOULD BE HELPFUL AS WELL.

P.S. IF YOU HAVE PICS. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THEM IF ITS NOT TO MUCH TROUBLE
THANK YOU

 

take the pices you want to paint off, sand them a bit to rough em up, then primer it, then use whatever color you want- they sell 'Aluminium' paint in auto stores Pep Boys
it looks pretty good, doesnt have the grain to it like brushed aluminium

then clear coat it after it drys, maybe a few coats of clear would be good...

search the org you'll find more info on it :0

 

There's a write up in the FAQ ...

...and pics on my homepage.

 

I will be painting mine, as soon as the temperature goes above 50 which should be sometime in March...hopefully. I will let you know how I do.
