Dash sprayed in a morning

Recommended Posts

Managed to respray my dash in a morning :thumbs:

 

"But what about the rubbery crap" I hear you cry. Well - I dont have a rubbery finish. I think most of the panels have been replaced at some point as they were all slightly different shades. I've always read the spraying dash threads with some confusion as my panels definitely are just plastic.

 

Anyway, here's some pics:

It looks a bit shinier than in the pics. I have added the ashtray lid and will need a new cloth bit for gearstick surround (is it called a gator?? - old one is knackered).

 

Not bad for a mornings work :cool:

I was doing 220moh at 14K revs :D

 

Either that or when I fitted the new dials the wee bits that the needles rest on snapped when trying to remove the old dials :eek:

Cheers everyone :thumbs:

 

Suprafish - who did you get to make a gaitor, and could they make another one! How much did you pay?

 

I got carried away with the painting and did the cam cover too:

I got them from MJDesigns. I would post a link but it doesn't seem to be working. I think Paul E can mayve sort you out with some.

 

Anyone spotted the mistake with the aircon dials :eek: :p

 

Am loving the cam cover. Did you use the same paint as on the dash??

 

Yep - exactly the same :thumbs:

dash looks great, i have a question about your passenger side airbag/glove compartment though......how can i get one? i'm in the U.S. and i would rather have a glove compartment instead of an airbag...... any help would be great, thanks. :)
