Title: Dash Panel....what colour????
Post by: Adam on March 03, 2004, 01:20:21 PM
Just wondering what colour some of you guys have painted your dash.  I have decided against the mazdaspeed carbon look dash i had that in my last FD and i want to do something different with this one.  So any pics of your dash\'s would be great.

Cheers

I\'ve started painting my dash bits - so far the bit between the seats (not dash strictly), the heater console and the cover for the steering column are done and look (to me) bloody good.

Colour closely matches the bodywork... so blueish.

What\'s on the panel where your driver\'s side air vent should be Mr Pink?

No ejector seat yet - I was thinking of getting the rotating number plate first :D

To be honest, I didn\'t even realise that it used to be an air vent there.:rolleyes:

The 3 switches (the two orange things are light-up switches), from top to bottom are... fuel pump, rear fog light, neons :p

They all look great guys.....but i notice you have all painted them the colour of your car, which is ok, but my car is black :(  did not see much point in painting them black.  I remember seeing pictures on here of someone who painted theirs mercury grey?????  but i can\'t find the thread.  Any ideas who this is?

Cheers

shiny ally style can look good on any car & any colour IMO i know a chap who did his scoob with a titanium type finish paint & it did look very bling & the scooby interior was usually shocking cheap at best ;) lol

I\'d advise doing it in summer - the lacquer coat takes weeks to harden off at this time of year.  Managed to put a fingerprint on mine a week after the final coat went on and life\'s too short to take it all out and start again!
