im intending to do this when my warranty runs out which will be feb 2010.
but in answer to your question no.
It was more of a question for people that have done this or have more info on it, not people that dont or everyone will be replying sayin they have not done it.
This was a question about a modification to a car so of course you have not done it Rofl Rolf.

hence why i said "in answer to your question no"
You cannot answer for everyone?
I only need one person to say yes
Not thousands to say No
Soooo shhhhhh u annoy me.

Why bother answering then. And god knows why you would wait for warrenty to run out before taking the strip out.
always planning ahead

correct.
im sorry to hear that.
was it a rhetorical question? no therefore it needs an answer off someone, plus i was bored.
my ma wont like the idea so ill keep her happy and wait untill its out of warranty then paint it.
:shrug: keeps my ma happy.
has anyone done this or is anyone planning on doing it?
if yes then are you vinyling, painting or having it covered in leather as part of a retrim?

Thought I might bring this thread back to life. Ive emailed some companies to see about getting mine done... Im really liking the orange trim. I want to spray the Dial surround orange and the steering wheel button surrounds orange, so its either that or the vinyled dash, I dont want the both it will be OTT

i was chatting to a few people about this also.. vinyl would be extrremely hard to do aparently, and a few others say normal spray paint will do.. but im not convinced at all...
Ill see what these signwriters say, if no one wants to do it then it looks like a DIY job! Which is the scary part, I would spray it but I think it will look gash tbh!

use enamel.
its a plasticised paint and doesnt need primer.
just test it on a small area you wont see first.
then if it doesnt work you can remove it easily with ordinary thinners
ill do it when im out of warranty

what the chances of getting spray enamel to match the colour of my car would be awsome though.. and i reali couldnt wait for another year or so to see what this looks like lol
