(G) Dash pics

sorry peeps heres the pics of the dash all primed up and baked all thats needed now is the top coat and lacquer. ive chosen the ford ash black metallic for the final colour. unfortunatley i needto use the car so its gotta go back in the car in primer but will come back out next weekend to be sanded down and painted. what do people think so far?

Looks like a very good job... looking forward to seeing it fully painted. Im not sure i would have filled in the section next to the wheel (to the left hand side of it).... Seems a lot of work if your thinking of selling the car?

looking good :shades: i really like that cant wait to see it top caoted and cleared

Ash Black's gonna look dope when it's all shiny and wet looking.

A lot of work has gone into that, but you do realise that painting it any metallic or bright colour will make it very reflective to light and therefore the whole dash is going to be getting reflected onto the windscreen which can be a real hazard in summer as it could impair your vision ahead. If involved in an accident by day an eagle eyed investigator may even spot it and lay blame at your door even if not using highly reflective surface, something car manufacturers avoid as a hindrance to your driving ability.

Why not flock it proper race/rally car style, the benefit of this is that it is not reflective hence why used in a competitive environment, looks very high quality and will not show up any cracks if they occur.

Worth considering.

have you also thought of ventilation for the ps2? if on for a while n left in there could overheat easily! Just a thought looking good though

heres the pics of the dash fitted in primer. unfortunately i need the car again now to return to college monday morning so ive had to fit it. all that i have got to do i rub down the primer sort any imperfections and then topcoat it. hopefully i can have it finished in the next couple of weeks

Like It Mate! Like It A Lot!

sei rory.

ive been wanting to put a DVD screen in that pocket where your PS2 is now and this seems a brill way of doing it! . can you write a guide or instructions on removal of the dash?

I'm not a fan of your final concept but it's a beautifully done piece of work, think it will work well when finished. Good job there!

top job mate i really like

looks really good heres an idea but what about Matt black? kind of a factory spec look then and no glare on the windscreen?

What happens when you get bored of the Sony PS and want to upgrade to the next console that will be a totally different shape?!!!!

I'll be honest, I thought at first it would look but it's turned out well.

i think it looks awesome in primer tbh! and i wouldnt go for metallic as the reflection would literally be hell in summertime! maybe go for metallic in the fabricated bit around the PS2, then matt or flock for the rest?
