That white dash is kickass! I want to paint mine white too now; what kind of paint did you use?

The blue dash is insane, but a little out of my league.

mark03screw, i usesd krylon plastic paint. its a semi gloss and was a pain in the a$$ cause for some reason it didnt want to stick. i even sanded and primed the thing before i did it. it might have been the cold weather though. . anyways, you should do it, i think it looks alot better than before.

do you really think this looks good? IMO it adds no visual attraction, actually takes away from the look of the dash

I forgot this thread was here!

i remember reading it and how i loved the blue dash (on the first page)
Later I painted my center section on my 06. i did the upper tray area, the radio bezel and the two lower sections. i also did it to my overhead console and im going to eventually do some of the door peices to match. its too cold out now to do them though.

Ill get some pics tomorrow during daylight

Hey Built54 did you install the white dash gauges yourself? if so how difficult was it? I was thinking of doing that myself. Dash looks great, can you recommend a color for a black truck with grey interior?

I did install the gauge cover my self. It was not hard at all, took about 45minutes to do it. For your dash, id say like a charcole, or gunmetal.
