Awww how puuuuuurdy!

This is why its bad to let your car sit for a few days, you get ideas and then you just rip your car apart and do it -- so maybe its a good thing :)

Also in the middle of painting of additional things -- like my speaker grills and also that big piece of plastic where your like shins are... why? I dunno I know you dont see it while sitting normally in the car, but I know its there -- plus its practice for a MUCH larger project and I want to make sure I have this whole process down -- the blue is actually a candy blue, silver metallic base coat... white, is just a glossy white :D

What kind of paint did you use?
I did mine with red and its starting to lose is shimmer.
Oh wellz

i'm glad to see some people can use those spray cans well... anyways are yougonna paint your needles? i did and it looks nice

very clean looking - nice paint job =)

ummm - one thing - i'm not sure, but that looks suspiciously like a bird turd in the upper center of the windshield... it THAT why it's bad to leave your car sitting around for a few days? :D

paint looks freaking good, but certaintly not my style

looks great i did a similar thing to mine but with red. look at my sig to see it. just dont go over board like i did and regret it ( im painting about half of it back to black.

And getting the vents out are easy -- except the passenger side main vent, everyone breaks that one!

Pretty cool. My friends have been telling me about problems they've had with light colored paint on top of their dash. They say the reflection off the windshield makes it hard to see out the window (which that first pic hints at).

hmmmm

hmmmm...never thought of that....
i wonder if a matt-white would help? im gonna paint my stuff the first weekend in april, i should have my vw indiglos then.
also, anyone know about painting needles? (will it fuck up the reading, is it hard to do, materials?)

Its not a problem, honestly... it only becomes a problem if you like, do the WHOLE top of the dash. Doesnt bother me a single bit...

Also for the top middle vent, just took two screw drivers and popped the damn thing out. Im good at vents, im always popping them out to install speakers (well not vents but the stock speaker grills are the same damn way) Just pop it off I guess -- and if you break it... super glue the broken joint, sand it back down and spray over it -- no one will ever know :devil:

Rice, Rice, baby! But whatever floats your boat.:D
