    Default Dash painting ideas

    Hey,
    just lookin 4 some ideas on what color to go with on the interior of my vs, one of the colors is def white/silver but i really need a secondary color for the actual dash and not the facia, im goin all out on the interior eg headliner carpet visors etc...

    im thinking to sandbank smooth then paint the actual dash slightly lighter than it is atm then do the facia silver but i don't know what color to do vents ect..

    I would paint the vents the same colour as facia. I wouldn't over paint either. Makes it look tacky.

    I wouldn't paint it at all. Looks cheap, and it actually LOOKS like something you did yourself.

    Each to their own though.

    Yeah, just putting it out there... on a VZ, don't do it You'll begin to dislike it very quickly, regardless of how you do it

    Sorry, Daniel worded it better, if it was say a VN - VS, yeah i guess it might look a bit better, but no a VZ, if you want it a different colour, get an auto trimmer to do it properley.
