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.

[right][snapback]301168[/snapback][/right] We just tapped my doors off and the window and carpet then painted the dash, it's ALOT easier, and saves ALOT of time. But we used real car paint so it sprayed really easy, i quess it matters what kind of paint to use, and you know you like fur fur......... |
