I wanna paint my dash trim body color! Huh.

[chavocrazy69]

I have a 90 Accord, and I want to paint the trim on the dash, surrounding the stereo, ac and stuff, body color. Would this be stupid? The interior is tan, and the body is maroon. Also, would I need special primer for the plastic?

That URL has some dashboard trim paint. Or, you can buy some Krylon Fusion paint, which is specifically designed to stick to plastics. For a primer, I would go with Adhesion Promoter, made by Duplicolor. It can be used for plastics.

I think that should look pretty cool. Although, being me, it would be a black and tan interior with the red outside.

Well, im gonna paint my fender soon, and i was thinking of just spraying the plastic stuff like the vent surroundings. I will post a sketch i made and tell me what you think.

This is what I hope to get the interior of my Accord to look like soon. Hopefully I can get a better picture of it up soon, but this at least gives you an idea of what it should look like.

By the way, the dash is black and the rest of the interior is tan-ish. I couldn't get a better pic sorry. What do you people think?

[MStout]

I dont really like that.

[chavocrazy69]

oh... i thought it was pretty *sighs*

i painted my dash accents white with a tan dash i plan on painting the rest of my dash black someday but i used the cheap home depot paint i know its gonna chip but i used it just for temp and to see what it would look like heres my cardomain page to show you what it looks like

not bad...did you prime the plastic first? Cuz if you did i dont think it will chip.

[bumpinneon]

no i didnt primer it i just took the stuff out and washed really good with soap and water and started spraying the paint sticking pretty good to the vents and switch panels but where i painted around the gauges it has a couple very little spots where it chipped but who knows maybe it will stick but i doubt it

[MStout]

It will look good if you accent it chavo...like with the vents red too on the passenger side. Only one thing inside the car red will make it look tacky.

[chavocrazy69]

Well, i was thinking that I should do the other vents too...and the shifter surround. Will that make it awsome?

[MStout]

Actually yeah...I can picture that...maybe even get a Momo steering wheel with red on it...thatd look nice too. And some Momo seats...but thats getting alittle out of hand. It would be cool though.

[chavocrazy69]

Yeah, I poor! Hahahah it sucks. We'll see what happens.
