Been awhile since last on due to work and family commitments...but should have a bit of time up my sleeve now just gave 4 weeks notice and going to a normal 38hr a week job.Anyway thought I might change the look of my dash today..so out came the silver and allen key screws and presto ! The gauge face itself is in a flat micro metallic and the surrounds sections are in high gloss.Just thought the allen keys would give an individual look.

Need bigger photos.

how about this ??

looks nice m8 i wish i had the nuts to do some stuff like that my wife would kill me im sure lol

that looks sweet mate

nice work

Loose the dashmat mate and she'll look awesome!

The allen keys are a nice effect...something different.....Nice

Looks nice mate.

Ive been thinking of doing stuff like this to my car, however I dont think it would look all that good with leather interior etc looks classy, dont want to spoil it with a dodgy paint job if I **** it up.

wish i had the guts to do stuff like that, ****in great work dude.
silver all round is superb.

looks nice, im thinking about it
but wont it scratch really easy? cuz you just spraypainted it didnt you?

I sprayed my dash fluro green nearly 2 months ago, its still looks like i did it yesterday....

Gauge surround , centre consol and middle dash section all spray with auto acrylic with a couple of coats of clear...it;s been painted for a while now and had the usual 3 kids in the car treatmnet and no scratches or chips.The gauge surround I painted Tuesday night with just a spray can of micro mettalic no clear because I wanted to separate the two pieces and not make it look like one section of silver plastic.Where it is it wont get touched anyway so it didn't really matter. So as far as chipping is concerned haven't even come close to being a problem.And by the way if you are going to use allen key screws you wil have to get ones that are no longer than 5mm or cut them down like I had to ,otherwise they will interfere with the gauges when placing back together.:)

Top job:D I really like what you've done to it, you've given me some ideas now:shifty:
Looks sorta F1 style, once again top job.

that looks tops mate!

well done on the spray job.

i been thinking of doing something like this, just dont want to mutilate my schmick VRX dash.
