Painting Woodgrain Dash

[YTRY50]

Hey guys

Just wondering what's the best paint and if you need a undercoat to paint the plastic woodgrain on your dash? And any pictures if someone has done this before?

Cheers.

easily done, no under coat needed. just a good clean with metho/turps. i used a gloss black spray from bunnings - cheapie. had a couple of other members in my car and they could not tell it was a home job. heaps better than the wood!!

I painted mine when I did my gauge mod and its easy as. Juat make sure you do lots of light coats. Lots and lots and lots! Have a go at it with some very fine wet sanding in between coats and give it a good polish when its all. Not sure what you can do about the steering wheel though? Leather covering?

here are some pics. i did it to mine about a month ago... the pics are not perfect cause the car needs a clean lol. i couldn't really tell you what paint... but i got mine from repco. so far it cleans well everytime and hasn't scratched or anything like that. cheers
