Lee_e Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Hey guys Im thinking of Re-Spraying my dash to maybe a matt black or gunmetal colour. My dash was already sprayed a really tacky silver when i bought her, which had flaked badly.. therefore I sent it to my local paint shop to get sprayed white to match the car , Now i know a sprayed dash isnt exactly to everybody's tastes.. but i had no choice . Ive got bored of the white now and want something less "in your face" Im really looking for ideas on different colours that would look nice and subtle, pictures of your dash's would be super appreciated. Heres how my dash looks at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FOSTA Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Do it Saturn black mate. Or wrap it in carbon fibre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Mitchell Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 I want to test out a rubber paint, im really digging the stock look Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Littler Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 I've been testing the plastidip with matt black: http://www.plastidip.co.uk/ Haven't finished it yet but it is very close to stock and has a rubber feel. It also has the added bonus that you can peel it off if you don't like it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob_Mitchell Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 you get the aerosol? i fancy doing mine now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Littler Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 you get the aerosol? i fancy doing mine now Yep the aerosol, got 3 cans (as I wasn't sure how much I needed) looks like I may only need one for the whole dash lol Worth getting as it costs pretty the same as a normal rattle can Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastcar Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 I would go with the matt black or give dave on here a pm and get it carbon wrapped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee_e Posted January 30, 2012 Author Share Posted January 30, 2012 Some good ideas guys.. i think im going to go with black rather than grey. The carbon wrapping, as good as dave does it .. Still doesnt tickle my fancy, its just something ive never really liked. So the question is .. which type of black .. I have no idea what types of black there are, i mean come on .. black is black right ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rsme Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Dark grey, matt. It's a bumperspray actually, very scratch resistant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep bought them in the uk and got them next day! Here's the links it's their official Uk site: http://www.plastidip.co.uk/ I'll post up some finished pics when the whole dash is done. Unfortunately work is taking over at the minute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luxluc Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Hey Lee, I'm no fan of sprayed dash panels. I would go for this if I had to do so http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?262596-Hobbyist-Application-Dave-Carbon-Fabric-wrapping Luc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Mitchell Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 I am going to give a go when i get the car back. The problem is the orange dash does get brownie points at shows but it does do my head in looking at it, on the long drives home Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastcar Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 I would go saturn black it's a reall nice colour for the dash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
