is it possible to paint the dash and not have the paint come off when you scratch it or for a profesional job do you need to put fabric such as vinyl over everything i tried painting the dash in my civic primer sand paint gloss and it looked hot I used the marble tight spray paint they sell at homie depot for like 9-10 dollars a can depending on which one you go to . it stayed hot for about a month then my copilot scratch the dash and walla all that hard work came right off to reveal the original dash color

 

PM Opr8r his xB is the featured ride for this month. Also do a search, he posted some pics awhile back of his paint dash...I hope that helps

 

thanks again. i told you you was the man right ? i gave pmed dude see what comes thru

 

I'm still very much a newbie with the car stuff, and I'm sure there are more ways to do this, but here's how I did mine:

Prep the dash by sanding down the stock texture, then follow it up with a few coats of flexable primer/filler. (Sanding with something like 400-600 grit in between coats). By then.. the dash is really really smooth. Next,spray a couple of coats of adhesion promoter to help the paint to stick. Then paint! (At least 3-4 coats) I suggest using industrial-type lamps to help the paint to dry. After the paint is *completely* dry, time to clear-coat. Comes out quite nice if you do it right!

Peace,

when you scratch it with your finger does the paint come off
