okay here is the scoup, i purchased a air freshiner from autozone the kind that clicks on your air vent, anyways it leaked, and took my paint to my dash with it. i went to my local ford dealership here in anchorage alaska and they said i would have to buy a new dash at 1300 dollars as you can see bt the pic i was able to paint over the spot BUT its the wrong color the color i have matched was the light tan i need the Dark brown does anyone know the color code so i can have some paint made and shipped up to me also if you know of a place that i can see a diagram to remove the dash i would be grateful i will check this forum several times a day for a repl y thanks and GOD Bless

 

dude,find a dealer that will work with you.when i worked at a dealer i bought a few cans of dash paint for a project on my truck so it is available.i have grey interior.now i will tell you the cans of paint are small and pricey.but the color is spot on(of course)they will have to get the interior code and pull out the book to find it.also if you do get the paint clean it very well and first apply adhesion promotor.you can get that at any parts store.

 

Problem is there are only 2 Ford dealerships in anchorge and Both say the only color they have in the book they have is the code i now know to be the lighter tan i will paypal someone to help me find the paint code for the dark its a 2004 F-150 if that helps

 

try going to a body shop, they usually have a great listing of paint codes in their system....

 

i work at a body shop and for the few years i've worked there and can't say i've ever painted or seen a dash painted... as far as taking your dash out, your probably gonna want to take it to someone who has done it before, its way to easy to break and a body shop will probably take it out for next to nothing. If you cant find the right paint i would just finish the whole thing with what you have and noone will ever notice.

 

I also work at a body shop and we have a guy that comes in and paints are dashes and any other intrior parts we need done so it is possible.

 

Hmmm... you can pull the dash in some areas around the radio by reading in my signature... not sure on the brown parts though.


Do you not have a Pep Boys or Autozone? I'm not sure, but one of those, or a good body shop (I cannot believe your dealerships are that stinkin' lazy) should be able to get the codes and the paint...

Hope you find it.
