Here's an example of doing things on the dash... I'm going to peel it and re-coat it though because One side didn't come out like I liked and I had to use a 2nd can and the color wasn't a perfect match... but here it is:

Hmm what head unit is that? Pioneer something

Looks original, not bad (in reference to your painted dash)

Thanks for the info. I meant to ask you if that's how you did this or if you painted it, now I know. It's a little too 'young' for me but I like the look. You did a great job on it.

im going to do a different approach. im not going to plasti dip the whole wheel but just the silver part on the spokes

first ill use flat black plasti dip. then top it of with the glosisifier

I keep meaning to do my orange FR-S emblems in black.

I'm coating my wheels right now. So far they look really good. It seems to be a good color for DGM.

I'll post up pics when they are done.

Edit: Finished the first. My apologies for the Thread Hijack OP!

Young eh? LOL I'll be 40 next year... I'm doing it for fun... and it makes the girlfriend smile so that's a plus...

I'll never grow up! :P

Dammit looks like im going to home depot and buying 4 cans for my wheels. I really like the red dash so im thinking of that or a different color. Did you remove the dash, if so how easy it is?

40, please. I've shirts older than that!

Hey, I'm good with it, and even thought "Hmmm, I might do that" when I first saw your photos, but in the end, I think I want a real CF piece to replace it. I'm sure those are coming down the road somewhere.
