    Default VY Painted dash

    Hey JC members!
    Was looking at the interior of my car today and decided that something was not right.. the dash. It looks so ugly in that silvery/bronzey colour and i want to get it painted hopefully in a candy colour shortly.
    I'm interested in knowing if any of you have attempted painting this piece before/if its a s*** of a job to do/is it worth it/how much costs are to get it done etc?
    Cheers!

    I did mine gloss black with clear over it. Also did the console and speedo surrond. Looks good, I used White knights Squirts paint.

    its easy to do it your self for like 15 bucks. thats for paint and clear coat. try not to use a tacky looking colour just choose a nice colour like gloss black as said above or even just satin silver. spray a few coats of clear coat aswell as you dont want it to wear off. so buy two cans
