    Hey guys, I need some opinions on paint color. At the moment my dash is painted white and my car is white, and I dont like how my dash is white aswell. I want to mix the color up a tad.

    Though cant think of a color that would look good against white? I was thinking a dark blue or silver, though not 100%. Whats your opinions?

    Thanks

    i think go back to stock, painted dashes look cheap and tacky.

    What about those 3part paints that are like chrome but then change to other colours with the right angle of light.

    U can get em from autobarn for a good 80 i think but they look very nice.

    Dont know how they would look on a dash but i recon i would look sweet, better than a plain colour

    Nah I took it out. 2 screws, a few clips and unplug the switches. Also pop the speed alert out first if you have one.

    Oh and also did the engine cover while I was at it. Some LED's in the side mirrors as indicators are next on the agenda.
