Paint Dash

[cobalt123]

yeah if you need anything more it would be clear

how do you take the trim off? I'm looking to paint my interior trim blue most likely on monday, i just need to know how to get it all off, thanks!

 

[dman090]

the piece under the steering wheel, grab it at the bottom and pull it and it will come of... just let it hang by the trunk release.

the pieces on either side of the steering wheel pull off, you will have to disconnect or pull your switches out

pop the glove box and grab a hold of the long pice and give it a couple good tugs.

and then the radio piece just pull it off by the pieces that were covered up.... you will see what im talkin about


and dont be afraid to pull the **** out of these things, you wont break them lol

 

[cobalt123]

yeah all of them come off with a couple tugs

 

[ff_drift_lol]

thanks, the red was what it was before i went back to black

once you go black you never go back

 

[cobalt123]

except now ive gone and done something different, again...

 

[Matt]

i had my dad help me pull of the one above the glovebox, there's little tab things you have to push in for it to release, im not sure if its the same as your guys', im hesistant to rip shit off, i dont wanna break it.

 

[ff_drift_lol]

yeah you are right about that.
all the interior panels rip off except the structural pieces like the center console frame it comes off with 7mm bolts.

 

[cobalt123]

just pull straight outward...anywho here is an update on mine

going with a black and yellow theme now?

 

[cobalt123]

[Matt]

or so you think... lol

 

[cobalt123]

ahh we'll see

Very nicely done.....it also looks like you ran your car through a bumble bees ass.

 

[cobalt123]

[dman090]

woot i guess haha im redoing the peice around the auto shifter it was shitty

haha yah i wasnt gonna say anything but now that you brought it up....

i bet that piece is hard to tape off since it dont come out

 

[cobalt123]

it comes out, the tape peeled up while i was painting, i was like shit, well ill see how it turns up, but it deffinately comes out, i had it out

 

[GatorGirl15]

how would i go about paintin the trim around the window buttons and all? like gettin it off the door panel???

 

[cobalt123]

the door is pretty easy to get off, behind the latch to open it there is a single screw that need to come out, on the door handles themselves underneath a peice of plastic there are another 2 screws that need to come out, on the side of the door (parallel to the window) there are two tabs just pull them out. then the door handle should just be able to pull out, be careful they have wires attached. they are pretty self explanatory on unhooking the wire connector

Bringing back an old thread. Just tried doing a test piece and the Fusion spray nozzle was crap! Spit and splattered everywhere. Of coarse it produced a crap finish. Thankfully it was a test piece out of the junk yard.

Question, if the black I use doesn't match the ebony of the dash, I'll have to paint the dash. How do you remove the dash cover?
