Nice thanks
Your dash looks tidy - I'd definately consider painting mine.
might see if I can get a spare and spray it up to swap it out in a day
What's it like in the Sun? do you get any nasty reflections?

I would put the dash removal in the class of 'bit of a faff' rather than difficult - and as mentioned, lots of things to fiddle with once it is out.

I suppose reflections would be a problem but it 's fine.

not really. The steering column is fixed to the dash; and then there's all the missing instruments in the dash pod.

That is one strange link - flocked dash I can just about go with, but flocked wheels and rocker boxes???
Back to original thread...
Painted dash does look good. Very clean look - really suits the Aircooled front end.

We had ours powder coated white about 4 years ago. It is as glossy as the O/Ps dash and is still as fresh today as when it was done. Dash cost £25 to have done which included all blasting/coating removal. Have yet to have any issues with glare. as someone previously said, it lightens up an otherwise dull and boring black front end.
