got my 3 dash trims painted i ended up turning my gf's bathroom into a paint booth lmao, pieces look sick i used duplicolor perfect match super white 040 and duplicolor glitter effects


im at work so after ill post up the pics but as a reference the paint came out looking the new XD release series interior

btw the one pice around the radio was a PITA ( think it was the paint viscosity ) had to wet sand 2x and repaint to get it nice

remove the radio bezel and the bezel that has the mirror controls then the whole gauge cluster bezel will pop out and from the back there are little tabs use a small flat screw driver to pop them up one at a time and pull them off pretty simple if you have any questions let me know ive painted everything on my other tC
