Default painted dash

So I had paint my dash because I got a new dash part and it was a different color so I painted it black to match my grille and here's how it came out

Thoughts apreciated

Very cool! I always did some painting in my other trucks. I havent had a chance to do it in my new one yet. Too much grey wanting some black to add accent.

It definitely takes away from all the blah from all grey. That's my next step in my mods. I have all grey and I'm tired of looking at it. Nice job!

Krylon Fusion is good stuff. I did my entire interior in gloss black. Looks just like a factory Harley interior.
