I will be painting my dash black and silver in a few weeks and want to know what finsh of black i should use like flat/gloss/semi-gloss. I want it to look good but not glare like a bitch. The main dash is what will be black.

TIA

gloss... it won't come out looking like its been cleared, don't worry

Thanks for the info. :)

I wanted to do the same thing, let me know what paint you use!

And does anyone know why they put a blue-gray interior on a silver car?

FLAT........heres mine

in illinois it is acutally illegal to use armor all on your dash because of the glare it causes. thats why they came out with a low gloss version, so I would go with flat black

I did mine with flat black Duplicolor fabric and vinyl dye. worked great. make sure you clean your dash really good with alcohol and soap & water. good luck

Thanks for all the info, i will be using sem's vinal and plastic spray i bealive that stuff is the highest quality vinal spray you can get, but it's 10.50 a can so it will be a few weeks before i get to it.

go to http://www.vinylpro.com they got the sem vinyl spray for $6/can.

Thaknks for telling me how to get a better deal on paint.:)

gloss, check the sig for a pic. Illinois can go fuck its shine laws. I live in illinois and when i roll up on a pig, i pull out my extra gloss armor all show it to the cop and then througly spray my entire car.


edit> here's a pic i dug up for you.

damn, your dash looks smooth. Almost like it's been fiberglassed. How'd u do that? Mine is black stock, and I did the bottom silver, but an all silver, glossy, outside paint quality dash would be badass imo.

who's dash looks smooth? theres 4 peeps who posted pics.

Then he a body shop paint it with auto paint. Then he sanded again. Blah blah. Anyway, his shit is smooth as silk. No rough spot anywhere.
