how hard is it to paint the entir dash? i am repainting my truck and want to do the interior plastics.
thanks in advance.

 

I painted mine, a 99. and i just did the drivers area. Mostly the pieces "pop" off. Basicly you take off as much as you can/ want and sand, prep and paint them.

 

97F150FL it isn't hard to paint the interior. i did my whole inside it came out nice just use some light sand paper and clean the surface off real good and use a plastic bond type paint (fusion paint)you can get it at any walmart ,auto parts. good luck with your mod post pics too.if you want check mine out

 

one thing i ran into i forgot to mention. I used krylon fusion and cleared everything. not to make it shiny, but to make it more durable. The dash area on top of the gauge cluster now has a rather bothersome glare that reflects on the windshield when the sun hits it just right. but other than that krylon fusion worked very well. the hardest part was letting it cure for 7 days before i put it back in. Sure you can pop it right back in when it sits for an hour, but the paint is still "soft" and you are just asking for scratches.

 

I agree with everybody, it's not that hard to do, but you must prep it right or it'll be a major PITA. You can't have any skin oils or petroleum residue anywhere, such as Armorall. Check out my gallery for my interior color change. Still a work in progress but it's coming along fine.
