Just painted my dash Satin black.. turned out Really nice.. especially happy with how the airbag came out.. Soon to be ordering Black carpeting from LMCtruck.com.. along with some seat brackets.. wondering... Do they do headliners.. because i need a reg cab one that has the holes for the overhead console.. i will post pics as soon as i can find my camera ran out of paint still have the top piece over the steering wheel (that dome like piece) so that should be finished tomorrow seeing as everythings closed






Did the vents and everything to match.. just dont have the placed in yet

(Stuff used)
180 grit sandpaper
Dishsoap + Rag
duplicolor Filling primer x2 cans
Krylon fusion Satin black x2 cans(needs 1 more)
Approximately 3 hours work.

 

man, looks good. want to do couple pieces for my lightning?

 

was way easier then i had thought it was going to be.. thats only after like 2 quick coats and a little touchups

 

Man I only did a few pieces on the dash, dang, looks good

 

well, it definitely looks good. i want to try doing some extra pieces i have so match the plastic that's in my lightning. that would definitely save me some money instead of buying the black plastic from a guy, since he wants $125 for 3 pieces of plastic

 

That did turn out nice. How much of a PITA was it to remove the dash? Looks like you have quite a few F-150's in your drive way.

 

I'll be doing this sometime this summer. Truck will be paid off by the end of this month, so I can start with the mods I've been wanting to do for awhile now. All-black leather interior is up there on my list too.
Looks awesome btw

 

looks nice. I had a few gloss black pieces i had professionally done in my silver 03. I wonder how the glare is going to be with satin vs gloss. Im really tempted to do mine again, i loved the way it looks. Did you use any clear? Or plan to?

 

aw man im jealous

how hard was it to get the huge peice of the dash with the glove box attached to remove?

as i type every peice of my interior but that one is drying from thier last coat of paint

 

It was a little bit of a hassle for the first time doing it.. trying to find all the little hidden screws that are tucked behind stuff.. but its not overly hard.. took me about an hour and a half the first time taking it out

Yea as of right now theres 2 2000XLT 4wd ext cabs a 97 XLT 4wd a 94 ext cab flareside and i have a 97 2wd long box sitting across the road the bright red ones the parts truck black ones my dad's mines the burgandy one green ones just sitting there.. as is the 2wd lol

 

In all honesty.. i had it sitting out in the sun drying.. and the only piece i really saw and shine to was the surround for the steering column... Really just looks like a factory black dash... IMO Definately worth the time and effort... soon im going to be finishing the rest of the plastics in the cab along with the overhead console.. im ordering Black carpeting from LMCtruck just have to find a place that does overhead console supporting headliners in black for a 97 i'll keep yas posted

and Thanks for the compliments everyone

 

you can just cut where you need to on the headliner, and might have to fill down the tiny gaps between the overhead console and the headliner.

I can get you pics of the cutouts in my factory headliner if you'd like. Im actually going to the longer Expy overhead console, so ill be doing the same basic concept as you

 

Dang the paint looks nice! I'm planning on maybe doing the same except just on some parts of the dash

 

That would be Greatly appreciated, started one was going to go for a fiberglassed look but after getting it Bondo'd to smooth it out a bit i really dont think i like it

 

Looks good, nice work!
