53828, Dash painting ? (WTF ANother 1?)
Posted by pea_jay, Jul-26-03 10:32 AM
Ok im sorry for asking something about painting the dash, but my dad told me an idea. Instead of using a spray paint can, could i just get the paint and use an airbrush to do it? I figured id have more control doing it like this. any imput would be appreciated!

Mods can you please move this to the interior/exterior forum? I posted in the wrong forum lol

i would think that airbrushing would be even better. like you said more control less running and less overspray if you know what your doing. i say go for it. i would have if i had access to one. :thumbsup

I think this is what I will be doing Shortly. I just found out that my step-dad has a sprayer cuz he was using it to paint shit outside yesterday lol. He said he will let me use it :)

Make sure you get about 14 colors and do a really cool mural or something too. :rolleyes

(as long as you think it would be easier and turn out nicer bro!)

nah im just doing it with Ultra Silver. No mural or anything :( lol

I figure it will be easier since i can control the spray and everything better. But i have alot of my interior to finish before i do the dash.:thumbsup

yeah thats whats i think i will do first. But if i did it to the dash...and i just painted the rest of the interior panels...would it look weird?
