The one person i know who painted his dash white got so fed up with the glare he ended up painting it black.

You could try a low-gloss or no-gloss white... but it's still going to be bright. I don't think there is much you can do.

dino you bastard, you know ME and i painted mine white...listen girl, leave it white, you will get used to the glare, wear sunglasses in teh summer, in the winter it isnt so bad. but trust me, a month or so and you won tnotice it...if you put a cover on top of the painted dash theres a good chance the paint will get so hot in hot weather that the fabric from the dash cover will stick to it. (dont ask me how i know this, but it sucks)

and to tell the truth, my dash gives off more glare now than it did when it was white, because i put on a shitload of clearcoat, which is apprently more reflective than the white paint i had before. btw, my dash is blue now

hahah sorry I had to laff...I was afraid to paint mine white for this very reason. but it looks killer though. Joe had his white for a month of so then switched to blue...now black I think, like dino said. My dash is red, btw. Heck my white pieces blind me and those are just trim pieces!

man oh man you just get used to for all those that want to see how bad it really is put a peice of paper on your dash and drive around with it! I dont even notice my dash is white n e more..

Is your dash painted?

mine was a shock the first time i drove it after painting...but i got used to it. i dont even really notice it anymore. i say drive around for a few days to see if you really can stand it before you do anything. did you put clear on it? i didnt but maybe thats what is making it so blinding.

btw:> welcome to our forums, as u just joined yesterday

I know someone who had it wrapped in white vinyl. I would lay a towel on it while driving or something, but take it off when you aren't in the car. Maybe a damp towel so it stays cool enough to prevent sticking?

one of my friends that did theirs all white just puts a peice of black felt over the dash while he's driving. Just takes it off when he parks

sounds like a lot of hassle just to drive your car, that is carrying around a towel and wetting it everytime you drive around.
