I'M IN VEGAS AND AS WE KNOW IT GETS HOT AS F*** FOR SEVERAL MONTHS OUT OF THE YEAR. HAS ANYONE PAINTED THEIR DASH THAT LIVES IN A HOT CLIMATE? I'M WORRIED ABOUT PAINT PEELING OR CRACKING. I WAS THINKING ABOUT THE HEAT RESISTANT ENGINE PAINT BUT I DON'T KNOW WHAT KIND OF FINISH IT HAS. ALSO, I PAINTED MY INTERIOR TRIM WITH METTALIC SILVER SPRAY PAINT. IT LOOKS GREAT BUT IF YOU TOUCH IT, IT LEAVES MARKS.. . . . . ANY THOUGHTS?

 

I have a thought....

....please dont post in all caps ever again. Its seen as yelling around these boards and the moderators will chime in right behind me in a second Im sure.

 

Yelling shmelling.

but to answer your question, my painted interior has gone through this florida summer just fine.

 

Buy yourself a Dash Mat.
