92smokin blacky

So i was thinkin about paintin my dash. Just pullin it out and paintin over the wood grain. I was thinkin of paintin it either red, black or grey, and only paintin where the wood grain is, and leave the black around the edges. I have painted the bezels on my isspro gauges red so i kind of want to match that but don't wanna make it look dumb. Has anyone painted their dash and got rid of the wood grain look? post some pics if you have, thanks

I'm interested as well, thinking about painting mine next year and color matching it to the block color ...

Well, I painted My dashboard. Not the bezel piece your talking about. But the whole darn dash. from red to grey. turned out good. Just wish I would have took my time and did a few more coats. it was haed to cover red.

i painted over my wood grain and left the edges black. if you don't have patience/attention to detail, you'll give up on taping. i spent a couple of hours making sure i covered what i wanted. i didn't really think too hard about a color. just went digging through my collection of cans. i used a silver aluminum color. then i pulled all the tape and clear coated the whole thing. looks pretty good i think...

well iused to have the red interior in my truck so i repainted the whole dash black and then the insert i painted red

both of those look good. i was thinking of doing the same thing. i would like mine black i think. it would look sharp

jimbo486, that was a pretty cool idea. It reminds me of the chevy style dash of the 80's. I think I'm gonna give it a shot.

I love the white face guages. You must tell me how you did that.

There's a kit available on ebay. They're decals. Just make sure it is for a 91-93, not an 89-90

Hey both those look pretty good.

Jimbo i like that, it does look a lot like the old chevs, My buddy has an 80 chev that he painted the gauge bezels white like that, and it looks a lot the same

Smokems that does look good, I think i'm gonna go with the red like yours. My truck is black that i have added a lot of red accents, its a lot like your truck. I think i'll go with red and leave the black around the edges, And keep my gauges black faced to match my isspros.

I have the patience to tape and paint, My grille inserts took quite a while to tape and "shadow paint" them red, but now if i paint this it will match my grille and some other stuff.

You guys remind me of ricers that like to paint interior pieces, but to each his own. The results looks about the same though.

its not any different than buying aftermarket dash pieces, its just cheaper. Now if i was painting my whole entire dash a very bright color, then that would look like a ricer, but I think these accents will look good.

i'm tempted to repaint mine to match the hemi orange under the hood. and i'd like to get my hands on some white face decals like smokems has.

Hey smokems, can we get a few more pics of that dash? I love it! Might have to color match my exterior paint. Thanks!
