I didn\'t spray the shroud on mine. Simply because I\'ve heard it mentioned quite a few times about reflecting on the windscreen. It looks fine though. All the rest of the dash is black anyway, so it doesn\'t look out of place.

Good to hear! Got a piccy? :)

Ta, Paul.

edit: duh, i see you started the thread in the first place! Hmmm, i think i see the confusion - i thought ppl were talking about not spraying the whole instrument section, and you\'re talking about the steering wheel shroud?

No, no. I think I\'m on about the same part as you. The instrument shroud/hood. Just ran out & took a couple of pics on my phone for you......

No worries. Be sure to post pics when you\'re done.
 
I actually took pics through all the stages of painting, so might actually put something together with them all on as a sort of guide for those who still want to do it. Although it might be a bit boring just looking at some items standard,sanded,primered,top coat! :Giggle

For anyone wondering, this is quite a big job. Getting the bits out of the car is the easy part, then you\'ve got to disassemble them further, separating all the dials from the plasic, *sand* them down. Take bloody ages.

So far its taken me half of saturday and most of sunday and i\'ve still got the instrument binnacle to do! :)

Cheers, Paul.

it does take a while. It took me a couple of days to do mine.If your standing around waiting for paint to dry or whatever, find other little bits to spray such as the rear strut brace, glovebox handle, center vent etc.. It is also worth taking the drivers side window switch apart and painting that..looks much better and is really easy.
