Tie in more grey colors from the dash into the color scheme... That is cool!

That is neat. Did you do that yourself? If you did, you are a far more talented man than I.

Looks awesome, but out of place. What are your other interior painting plans?

I painted my dash, funny thing is people asked me how much it was to replace the whole dash and how big of a pain it was. Looks completely stock, doesn't look like is has a permenant grease coating! But I took alot of time prepping and using the right dye and paint materials.

On topic, that looks badass! Only thing I would have done is centered it in the dash but if you are putting more stuff then that's ok! Just don't clutter it and ruin that beautiful bird!

DirtyBird, I would love to see some pics. I am in the process of redoing my interior and I was wanting to do a dash paint (not the area under the windshield, the part facing the passengers). What kind of dye did you use, prep, etc? Feel free to PM me so we can keep this thread on topic!
