Hello everybody, This is my first topic I've started (hope it's not messed up) and It's a question. I'm planning on pulling my dash to paint it, simular to Frotou's and Kristen85's(minus the fur, no offense). Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I have already removed all but the upper dash (where the airbag is located) and the steering column. I know to disconnect power for at least 90 sec before even breathing on the airbag system. I can see some exposed fastners on the dash but I dont know how the airbag is connected, so I don't want to just rip it out of place. I've looked in my Chiltons manual and it doesn't go into that area, so I thought I should ask before I start. This is the last thing I need to do before I start reassembling my gutted interior. Thanks, and love the site I haven't been a member long but I've browsed the site since near the beginning.

not I, but i do know that doing what they did has to be very involved...they are both show cars, and painting an interior like that is wow

my buddy used regular paint on his interior(made for the dash) and it looked good, but it cracked and looked nowhere near as shiny as those twos

for the plastic inserts i believe we have a how-to written at 6gc.net
