Painting
Your custom molded dash cover will arrive in an unpainted, black color if ordered without paint. The Dash
Cover can easily be painted in any color that you need, so that you can custom match your current vehicle
interior. We recommend using a high quality paint that will withstand the heat and sunlight, as well as
any movement that might occur. We recommend using SEM brand Color Coat paints for a quality,
lasting finish.
Before painting your new dash cover, we recommend dry fitting the part to the correct place in your car.
This will verify that the correct part was shipped, as well as to allow you to make any minor adjustments
such as sanding.
In addition to selecting the correct paint, we recommend that you NOT use a primer when painting
your new dash cover. For the best results, we recommend cleaning the surface of the dash cover with Windex
to prepare the surface of the plastic to be painted.
Please make sure that the plastic is completely clean and dry before painting. Any dirt, dust, lint or
moisture on the surface of the dash cover will prevent the paint from adhering to the surface and will
affect the finish when the paint dries.
You should spray the new dash cover with 3 light coats of paint. The first 2 coats will be streaky, but
the third coat will come out even. Be careful to only use light coats. If you are too close, the paint
will clump and run.
If you are not familiar or comfortable with painting your new Dash Cover, please contact a professional in
your area to paint it for you.
