So I Painted My Dash A While Back And Now I'm Looking At Carbon Fiber Wrapping. Does Anybody Know If I Can Do This Right Over The Paint Out Do I Need To Remove The Paint? If I Have To Remove The Paint What Is The Best Way?

I am currently doing it - I even removed the vinyl cover (for the FRS). You might just want to hit it with some sandpaper, but probably wouldn't have to remove all of the paint.

awesome Ty! I'll Post A Pic Of My Dash When I Get Home, It Looks Pretty Good
But The More I Think About The Red Carbon Fiber The More I Like The Idea.

Good to know someone is wrapping I just wrapped my dash red carbon about 3 weeks ago :)

Not to thread jack, but does anyone have tips for the 4 corners near around the radio? The wrap I'm using isn't staying there very well

could you post a picture of the red carbon fiber on your dash, that is the look I'm going for and I want to see what it looks like. My imagination sucks!

I'm going to have to redo the radio panel. Pain in the ass to do. The bigger panel was much easier. Plus I was a friggin idiot and the pattern is north/south on the radio panel, and left/right on the right panel. UGH

you can go right over it. then leave your car out on a hot day and let any air pockets expand and poke each of them with a needle and push the air out, then smooth the vinyl until the pin hole disappears.
