    JollyRogerVX'er has some good photos in his gallery of his dash paint job,there was also a thread regarding what type of paint he used,but I can't find it.
    It looked really good & is something I'm thinking about for the near future.

    Thanks!!

    Hey, thanks for the info! Will most likely re-dye the leather, and use the Krylon fusion paint (of course, pending $$$). I'll post before and after pics at some point if i get the guts enuf to do it.

    I later got brave and used the red "rubberized" paint on my dash trim and around the power/winter buttons on shifter console and around the mirror controls/defroster buttons. All of these switches and buttons are easily removed after disconnecting wiring harnesses. Just be sure to wash any parts before painting to remove dust and contaminents such as armor all...etc...

    I also recommend the "blue" masking tape for masking off areas as it sticks pretty good but doesn't leave any glue behind once you remove it. Also let the paint thoroughly dry before pulling tape and run a razor blade along the masking tape prior to removing it as the rubber paint has a habit of hanging onto the masking tape with tenacity! I've been really happy with how it turned out and am glad I went through with it!


    Hope this helps!

    Tigger has had his interior painted to purple. He had it dyed. Although purple it's not my color it did look very nice. I'm not sure if he has any pics. But I'm sure if you ask him, he will post. I think his handle is "Tigger', "greeentigger" I really don't remember.
