Should i paint my dash black?

[AVSTANG02]

Don't ****ing paint it.

Leave it.

You will never paint it well enough. It will never look better than it does now.

Don't waste your time.

Yea i think it will look much better painted, i will do it this weekend. also gonna mount a small rocker switch beside my radio to turn my sub amps off. Id like to flush mount my volt meter too, maybe ill do that as well. If you look close you can see where theres like a 1/4 stepdown in the gauge trim and radio trim that im gonna fill in with bondo to smooth it out, so itll have a nice contour rather than stepdown. Would you guys think spray paint or brush paint would hold up better on plastic? I used satin black on my dash and it turned out great, brush on.

Rustoleum for plastic should do it. Post pics when you are done. We can then vote whether the before or the after looks better. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

why it has to be black?
racist

Because if it was white, it would get dirty easily, or so Ive heard //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

Top of the dash is already black (the actual dash board itself) i filled in the holes where the stock speakers were and painted it black. Once i paint these panels the whole dash will be black. Also have door panels redone in black, rear deck redone in black, and im redoing the B pillars as well.

Best shit I ever used for painting a dash!

I had that tan interior you see in like 1/2 of all jeep cherokees, now mine is totally blacked out and looks great! Stuff is very scratch resistant and sticks well if you clean the surface first with acetone and don't get any finger prints on it afterwards.
