Styling Painting the dash

[Vimto Rolf]

The top half of the dash is plastic, the bottom half is leather on UK GPA's whether you have leather seats, or cloth / alcantara seats.

ah thanks for enlightening me

i like the red dash very much but only with black lower dashboard not the creemy color power part. also i think that the piano black in the hole dashboard will look ok in all gps. can someone photoshop with black?

how easy is it to remove the bits you want to vinyl? is it just a case of pulling off? i've tried to look behind the dash but is hard to see with trim in the way!

well mate the face of the dashboard is silicone glued onto the main body. there are 4 silicone ''buttons'' upon then codrivers storage.if you brake them with a bit of care so you don;t brake the hole face you should be able to see in. it isn't easy at all.

do you know what color would be fantastic for this face? silver or aluminum.like an mjet face has. at least a version of it.

i got an email back today.. Im to say im not happy is an understandment.. Iv been using this guy for a few years and this is what he wrote

Stephen,

Thats not a job that I would be interested in, looks very curved so it will need a cast vinyl which will be fiddly & expensive, I've seen things like what you want done before and they were sprayed, actually screw the pieces out so you can get at it, you could do it yourself if you really wished, that will be the best finish and longest lasting solution I can give you.

Regards, John

im furious with him :/
