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.

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.

ehhhh u know, my lil secret. lol no. Its not super smooth like fiberglass. Although my buddy has a civic and fricken sanded and wet sanded his shit down like a mad man. 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.
