Painting Series 2 dashboard, what color?

Recommended Posts

My series 2 Supra came with what I believe was factory carbon fiber trim overlay on the dashboard.

I pulled it off, and there is sections of this rubbery tape/glue which is impossible to get off.

 

So it looks like I'll have to sand the whole dashboard and then have it painted, which sucks because I love the original series 2 dashboard color...

 

 

My Supra is moonstone, I was thinking maybe doing flat black? it would look nice and clean, and match my all black interior.

Or a dark grey color?

Much work involved?

 

Sanded, primed and painted?

 

What sandpaper grit did you use?

 

Well, if you have a STOCK series 2 dash with no vinyl overlay then you can give it a light sand with something around 1000grit sand paper and then prime and paint it.

 

Mine had rubbery/stickers that held my OEM viny overlay which was impossible to remove, so I had to sand it off with 80 grit, then smoothed it out with 180 and then 400 grit.

It was quite a bit of work due to the sanding

 

And series 1 dash is a whole nother level of worth with the rubbery stuff on it :)
