Default Interior paint

Did some paint work to the dash, not too sure about color. To match the Broze rims, did the door arm rests too. 75% satisfied with color, thinking doing orange instead.

paint the rest of the silver, bronze, so it will tie in better ie the steering controls, guide plate and the panel with the mirror controls. kinda hard to paint the dash since and make it look good since its textured rubber. over all, not bad.

paint all the pieces white first and you will get a better color.

i agree with hyperwhiretc, try to paint all of the pieces and it will tie everything together better.

i also agree with 08SWbox, if you use a primer (or pre paint it white or some flat nuetral color) it will allow for the top color to be more accurate and pure.

Looks good so far!

I think the color looks good but you gotta get rid of all those other silver pieces or it just doesn't flow well at all

Nice the bronze looks pretty sick. I'm currently already workin on something similar but I have the entire dash out of the car. Kinda scared me how easy it was to take out. I think the whole dash was out of the car within 15mins. I'm doing the whole dash in a gloss black and accenting it with a satin metallic red. I'm just hopeing it will look good with the red leather.

sounds cool, I look forward to seeing how it comes out. I'm taking it slow, afraid to do everything at once and make a mistake or being with no dash and needing a car. I was also not sure if taking out the whole dash to paint was something I could do... but I'll keep working on it in my mind. I was thinking of going Red or Orange instead of bronze.

A nice metallic orage would look pretty nice. Check out the duplicolor metalspecks in orange. They have a demo video on thier site of the paint and thats the color they used, it looked realy good. Taking out the whole dash was realy easy, sanding it smoooth is another story. The contours of the dash are very frustrating to sand correctly but it is possible with some patience. If you want to do it though I say go for it, its really not that hard. I'll be sure to post up some pics when I'm done.
