Hi all,

I've done a search but come up with no answers. I'm going to paint my Aussie 66 Deluxe Vivid White inside and out, but I think having a bright white dash would not be ideal for glare and eye strain.

Given everything metal is connected, how could I paint my dashboard grey (going with grey carpets, off white head liner and red seats and door cards) and make it look good? I'm not any good at graphic design!

Thanks in advance!

Just paint one, (Id choose dash first cause you dont want overspray on the outside paint job) and then wait for it to dry and then tape it off with some painters tape and paper and paint the other one.

Sounds like it will look great. I just painted the inside and out of my bug and it was a great learning experience.

personally I don't like the idea, it would just look off and it would hurt resale imo... don't if you are worried about glare don't use a clear coat and keep it single stage... besides I doubt there would be enough glare to be concerned...
