Painted Dashboards

[BLUEKNIGHT911]

I see that Pierre ( up in Canada ) is selling painted dashboards …...….. back in 2014 He did a Video of my RT , that had one painted matching White Pearl ………. I also did Deanna777 's dashboard in Cognac ( see one of her posts ) …. neither was done in factory paint but they are so close in color, I've never had anyone say it wasn't :roflblack: ( yet ) …. He says He first sandblasts the dash to make it smooth, totally un-necessary. I didn't do either of the ones I painted and they are GLASS smooth. Could just be a marketing thing to justify the price He's charging ……. Mike :ohyea:

Interested in Pierre's matching oxford blue dashboard! Sounds like a neat farkle!
Has anyone actually removed a 2018 RTL dashboard and if so does the dashboard just come off by removing the four screws around the dash with no hidden tabs or tricks?

Is there much to painting them then, priced one at dealer the other day and was surprised that the dash itself costs less than $40 bucks.

#1. I bought rattle cans at my local Auto parts store ….. You will need one can of clear - for the top coat ( or not for the Cognac if you want it to be Matt finish. …. The White Pearl I did needed a Base color first , then the actual White Pearl - which is a translucent paint that has the metallic added. The Cognac paint ( which is for metal ) needed a Primer to protect the plastic from the Cognac ….. It is more of a time thing rather than Paint cost ….. Mike :ohyea: ……….PS if you paint YOUR dash you save the $40.00

Did as Mike says, Primer, Paint and then Clear. The color match is perfect and looks Great!
