JamesC Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 Well i decided to jump on the paint your dash bandwagon and give it a lick of paint. I wasn't too keen on the silver ones so went for a gloss black hoping to get a style similar to that of my old Audi S3 which had a piano black finish. So far it's looking fairly good, i havent done them all yet but so far the finish is probably better than what i was expecting, with the exception of around a couple of the dials where its hard to get at. Silver probably would have been easier as it doesnt require as much rubbing down to get a good looking finish. Pics so far: And the finish: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robert_gray Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 very sleek. Been thinking about doing this myself, getting a bit bored with the mat black. Not sure on what colour to go for, shiny rather than mat isnt enough o a change for my taste but it does look good though. Which dials did you have problems with the fitting afterwards bytheway?

JamesC Posted July 2, 2007 Author Share Posted July 2, 2007 Didn't have any problem fitting the dials again, it was getting in at them to flatten them back etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricky-Ricky Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 Think i'm going to flock my dash, did buy some of that fake suede to cover it, but i think floking will be easier and give a better finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
