ScottC Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 I'm planning on getting my dash panels painted and have decided to keep them black to keep the OEMish look. What I can't decide on is the finish. So if you have any pics of black panels finished in either matt, satin or gloss, and ideally fitted, would you be so kind and upload them for me to have a gander at.

Littler Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 (edited) Scott I will hopefully have my dash finished by this weekend so I'll get some pics up, I use the matt black plastidip rubber paint, only done the gear surround up to yet but it gives the closest to an OEM finish than any other paint I've seen Edited February 15, 2012 by Littler (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just wondering if a gloss finish would bring the dash a bit more up to date or would that be to blingy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottC Posted February 15, 2012 Author Share Posted February 15, 2012 Adam, are you removing the original rubber finish off the panels first or spraying straight over them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Littler Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 I have stripped the rubber off as there were scratches and things that have appeared from over the years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
