Repaint dash console
 
I'm looking for advise on repainting my dash consoles. First I have to decide to either keep them black or to change to white. What paint should I use? Would it be possible to roll & tip with perfection as an option?
Please give me your imput. Thanks

I used white imron. Best in my opinion.

Stan,

Thanks for your reply. You did a great job! Let me ask you a few questions. How hard is it to work with Emron? I have never used it before. How long did this the overall project take you? It looks like the drivers side console with dash would be the most involved. What advise and tips do you have for me?

Thanks
Evan

Hey Evan
Prep work is a majority of the job. Removing the alum trim from the all the small doors, disassembly of the cabin door etc etc. Imron is very fool proof to mix and easy to spray but dust is a major factor. Remove a small door panel and have the paint supplier "profit match" the color. Use plenty of scotch brite pads BUT wipe all areas with prepsol first.

? for you...are the gauges original or have they been replaced? Do you have bezels?
