Exclamation My dash paint job..<PICS>..what do u think??


t




so i recently finished painting the main dash piece pieces, coin holders (above the shifter, below the parking brake release, and the one under the arm rest) and the right side vent cover blue.

Seriously...what do you all think?? did i just ruin my dash or should i keep goin? i think it looks pretty good but it could just be me.

thanks!

***EDIT***

ok if you dont like the paint job, can you all give me some colors that u think would look good if i re did it??
thanks!!

hey thanks! yeah i didnt know if blue was going to be the best choice but i decide since i have blue interior lights and floor panel blue lights, i thought i would go with blue, im not done yet though i think im goin to paint some more pieces.

about how i did it, i just took off the pieces and cleaned them off really well with soap and water and used a paint specificaly for plastic. i did a light coat, waited till it dried, then did a couple more, finishing with a couple glossy clear over coats. i didnt sand or prime but i think it worked.

I like it aside from the passenger vent and the coin holder. They look out of place being so encompassed by the gray.

Blue is a good color.
