well, not the whole dash, just the dash insert around the cd player & whatnot. let me know what you think, i did it myself! i think i put a total of 8 or 9 very thin coats of red paint, took me pretty much all day. then i finished it off with about 4 clear coats. i wish the clear coat was glossier, but i guess it was just the brand i got oh well. a driveway photo of my car to start out w/ before whoever previously owned this car was a smoker... see all the nasty ashes i had to vaccuum out! pieces are out pieces are sanded and washed first coat (also serves as primer) second or third coat laying out to dry (before clear coat) after 1st clear coat finished

unless your retarded im sure you know left is cold right is hot.. Are you getting the 6-spd or the auto because i see your gt is auto. I prefer the manual over auto for performance and its more fun to drive. BTW looks good

thanks and yes it does block the light for the a/c controls but i know what's what and don't even have to look at it to know what i'm adjusting anymore so it doesn't matter, it looks cleaner without the icons anyway. and when i get my gts it's definitely gonna be a 6-spd manual. there's no other way!!

Nice job, I'd say keep the a/c control label on your GTS when you get it, in case you ever sell it, but it'll be your car not mine

well the funny thing is i put like 9 coats of paint on that sucker, and in the dark the labels still glow through a little bit lol
oh well, yeah on the gts the labels are staying on, or new ones will be put on before selling

damn, this is for you -> uncle perv strikes again LOL you boys are adorable i actually did it on my own using common sense, i didn't use any tutorials or anything. just took the console off, sanded it with fine sandpaper, washed all the grit off, and did a tonnnn of very thin coats so as not to drip. i just used a can of "touch up" exterior spray paint, and the clear gloss coat in the same brand. like i said i did a ton of coats of each. there are a few little dust particles that settled and got stuck in the clear coat, but you can only see them if you're like an inch away from the console.
