bullet_uk Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 I recently covered my dash in carbon fibre and really didn't like it so I got shot of it, Now I'm thinking I want to paint the dash but what are everyone's thoughts on what colour to do I'm toying with black or silver also has anyone else painted theirs what did the use and how did it turn out???

ripped_fear Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 I would like it back to matt black but i don't think you could ever get it back to how it looked originally can you? not original no as it has the rubber stuff on it as standard, assuming you have a non facelift model. but it would look as close to standard as possible but the gunmetal/grey colour is a good choice and its tried and tested and it think it looks amazing. http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/vbpicgallery.php?do=big&p=12234 personally i would go a little bit darker but still nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ripped_fear Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 the sky is the limit just go and ask to have a look at the paint shops paint books, (if you get it done at a garage.) you could choose what ever you wanted, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricky49 Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 Painted dash is so old hat, it makes the interior look dated and chavvy leave it as Mr T made it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricky49 Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 Give them to Lee P and get his mate Phil to give them a stock look blow over. I had a sticky label patch on one of mine after Phil had it it looked brand new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
