I PTM'ed the overhead and a few other pieces of my dash and love how they came out.

thanks mate! I painted the A-pillars, radio bezel an the overhead lights above the rear passengers all white as well. i originally took it off to fix the temp gauge and I decided to paint it since I had it off. I just popped the doors off and I already had the temp gauge off, scuffed it really good blew it off with the compressor made sure no dust or anything was there. then I did 3 light coats of krylon fusion white. can't wait to see how the plasti dip looks!

yea that's what I figured I might try red but I think it'll be to much red there. may try black plasti dip, I have a can or 2 hanging around. go for it man! worse you can do is mess up an start all over again, another 30mins. I don't have any pics of the rear overhead lights

Here some pics I took about 20 mins ago. Sorry for the lack of quality as it was night time but tomorrow I'll take some better pics. After seeing these in plastidip, I'm seriously considering painting these pieces in Krylon Fusion Flat Black. Here's the pics of what I've done:




Let me know what you guys think!

Looks good! I have already done my upper door pieces like you have, and wrapped that dash piece in camo, but never thought about doing that lower door piece. Good idea!
