Painted Dash

[Dubld]

I painted my dash to match the body color. I think it really sets it off. Big shout out to Purple Guy for the inspiration and the help in getting this done.

Dash looks really nice, dont forget to fuel up... gas gauge looks a little thirsty

Thanks. Yes, it is about time for a fill up.

When I put my dash back on I left the gauges unplugged which in turn enabled the LED gauges on the main cluster...
IMO they are more accurate...

Very nice mod!

MAYBE ....OR THIS WORKED

I don't know what the poster did, but when I did Deanna777 's Dash in Cognac ( See her albums for a PIC ) I bought some Burnt Copper VHT at the Auto Parts store $ 8.49..........Because the paint is translucent I would advise painting the plastic dash with a lighter color plastic PRIMER paint even RED ..........Use a lot of thin coats this paint runs very easy.............Mike :thumbup:

How hard was it to pull off the dash, i might want to do that to mine

 

[BLUEKNIGHT911]

NOT TO HARD

How hard was it to pull off the dash, i might want to do that to mine

The four bolts you see are what does it.........the gauges are what makes removing tedious ( they also need to be dis-connected ,& there is not much slack in the wires )........The really hard part is getting it back in without scratching the PAINT. Make sure the PAINT is absolutely dry ( 2 days minimum ) or your fingerprints will be visible ..........Good Luck .....Mike :thumbup:
