What color do I paint the dash?
The way I figured it a rattle can job is going to be a rattle can job. I know there's special lacquers or chemicals or however they do it these days. I don't think a rattle can and a car paint are going to end up the same anyway you cut it. So I just went with this cheap Bi-Mart paint and hung my Dash up in a tree and painted it. If I showed you a picture of it close-up it would look like hell! If you just sat in the car you'd say that doesn't look bad. Actually it looks pretty clean. course all this like my car could be just a mock-up getting the parts clean painted assembled and disassembled for that big day when you can afford 10K for a paint job! LOL and I do mean LOL! (That is me never having 10K for paint) or actually being able to justify it! Honestly in a couple winners I may just rip the car completely back down learn how to do a little bit of body work rent a booth at a paint shop and give it a shot. I think the prep would be no more than ding repair at the worst. And I wouldn't worry about blocking it too much and getting way too crazy as I'm just doing a first-time paint anyways on the cheap.
