You are brave. I would be scared to take my dash out like that. Come to think of it, maybe i could tighten everything up and get rid of some squeaks I have become friends with.

nice bro looks sick, i love you truck by the way. what did you use to do this?\
i'm thinking if i were to try it, i would go purchase the krylon adhesive to make the paint stick without scuffing it up and than use a krylon paint?

im surprised not many more people do this at home mod..looks good love your tail lights on the truck to.

Is that a "spare" screw leftover in your dash tray?

i had the silver paint left over from when i got the fender vents painted so thats what did the center piece and the vents. as for the black and clear, i used dupont. i wouldnt suggest rattle cans though. i have a small spray gun that i used. i didnt get the exact look i wanted but it looks pretty good anyway (IMO). i wanted the smooth look instead of the "orange peel". i didnt find out til afterwards that i had to sand the dash before paint, after primer, after paint , and after clear. then polish it. and i really didnt feel like re-doing it. so whatever.

and yes, that is a spare screw. lol. for anyone else who decides to do this, i would suggest marking which type of screw and where it goes. i had a couple of one kind left over and not enough of another. its all good though; no rattles.
