so.. i have wood grain dash. i hate it. so im going to paint it. im also going to paint my overhead console thing as well. and im really trying to talk myself out of painting the columns too.. but depending on how everything else turns out i might just do that as well.

i hate how dodge put those light tan pieces and headliner in with such a nice dark grey and silver interior . guess thats next on the list.
anyone ever use any of the fabric paint? i saw some at the parts store today but i cant imagine spraying fabric and it turning out like anything but ****..:yucky:

I have heard of that stuff before but heard it will fade or rub off after time. Before ya paint your interior trim I would see if anyone would be intrested in a trade IMO.

I agree with you about the light tan on top of such a nice dark interior, I hate how mine is like that. I know a lot of professional shops can dye the fabric... just don't know how it'd work out doin it yourself.

Cant wait to see the finished product!

i want to paint these entire pieces.. but id get paint all over the seatbelt... now im thinking the seatbelt itself would wear out the paint pretty quick, but maybe a couple good coats of clear would take care of that?
