- Tue Oct 12, 2010 4:08 am #218013 i painted my entire center console...

i first used armor all wipes (the orange degreaser ones) to get all the grime and grease off all the peices.

then i rinsed the waxy film like stuff that was left behind from the wipes...

dupli-color vinyl & fabric paint was what i went with, sprayed about 5 or so light coats... and i gotta say, it looks really good. and its holding up great so issues with it what so ever

Oh and i used the semiflat black color so i have no reflektions in the windshield.


u have a pic of ur dash? Ive painted interior pieces before and have had bad results after a few months.

3 years and still holding up thats impressive for spray paint.

is it actually bought, or did you make it? ...and how is it connected to the console?



next question is your dash. you cleaned, primed and painted it. but how many coats of primer did you use? and did you sand the primer? and with what grit?
