Dash has a few scratches, what to do?

[NatRT10]

The only thing I can find wrong with my '95 is that the cheapo dash had some scratches in it. Nothing most people would even notice, but it drives me crazy knowing they're there. What options do I have? I'd really like to find a place that sells them new, but has anyone successfully painted one and how did it come out? What would a new one cost through a dealership? A lot I assume.

Nat - do a search on this topic. Alot of threads about this. I went through the same thing about 3 or 4 months ago. Ended up paining it a flat black. Looks alot better. The original grey is impossible not to scratch. Its got that fuzzy texture to it.

I'll send some before/after pics your way...

Cool thanks Tim and Lauri! Lauri, those pics you sent look great! Did you clear coat yours? Now I'm really leaning toward painting mine. I guess black would be my best choice. Unless someone has a better idea. This could be a fun little project.

Lauri, could you send the same information to me. I also have a 95 with a dash that could use some help. Thanks

Spray paint it :
- primer
- flat black
- flat clear coat (a couple of layers)

No worries anymore !

That looks great Yves! Where did you get the brushed aluminum bezel that says Viper? They look great together.

The bezel is from ZAF (Zero Altitude Flight).
The car now also has the airco knobs and short throw from MGW.
You can find these suppliers in the marketplace section on this website. Both are great to do business with !

I'm sorry, but I have nom idea how to post anything on this forum.
I have tried several times, I ended up shutting down the computer, othervise I would have put a whole clip of 40's in the monitor...
