Paint Dash Or Replace With Different Color?

[racin4JC]

I was wondering if it is possible to paint vinyl dash? If it is what paint will hold up and does it look crappy or chip over time? Or what can I do to replace dash with different custom color?

it is possible to paint the dash vinyl.. there's a paint for vinyl made by duplicolor...paint info colors are limited though... as far as it holding-up, it's gonna depend on how much sun it's getting, alot of sun and it will at very least fade it.. i would say expect around 2-3 years if done right, and don't park it in the direct sunlight :thumbsup:

you can ask someone on here called silentalero look him up, or just find him in one of the posts, hes done it, and what else you can do is custom fiber glass job which he was gonna do not sure if hes still doing it...

you can go to just about any auto parts store and buy vinyl die, should last good and long and definitely won't chip. don't expect to find too many wild colors though, odds are you won't find much past the standard tan, black, gray type stuff.

your best bet would be to reupholster the dash, but vinyl dye should work fine.

Hey thanks for the help and if I do go about painting I don't think I will have to much of a problem with severe sunlight considering I live in North Dakota!

if you die it, is it easy, and does it look good

Im thinkin black will look sharp

black = good

and no glare...its a killer on bright colors as im finding out

I dyed mine black and I think it looks good. Haven't had anyproblems with it at all.

After you get the dye how do you go about dying it do you just tape off the parts you don't want dyed, or take the dash out or whats the easiest way?

I left the dash in and took all the trim pieces off taped up the rest then painted away.

Where'd everyone get their dye from?
