dash paint

Definetley use dye don't go cheap and use spray paint, as it will start to peel down the road.

If you do it your self make sure you clean the dash to remove all of the armor all. Just remember you can't wash the dash to much this is on of the largest steps to making the dash look good.

I hope that this helps you and your brother. Keep us updated on how it's going and if the dealership is going to take care of it or not.

There color match is excellent, there dye's can be tinted in house (at least they are at my supplier, can't see it be different anywhere else). If you take a good clean piece of the interior to them they should be able to match it for you no problem. (Make sure to specify you want Dye) Remember when you spray it, it may look lighter that it is normal..it dries darker. This is going to be a meesy job to remove the OEM coating, if possible I would suggest removing the affected pieces from the interior. If not tape up the vents (multiple layers, cross hatching the tape) And plastic the hell out of everything else you are not re-coating. Be aware of any transistions where solvent may seep and bleed through onto another suface. I would not recommend a paint thinner to remove the old coating. My suggestion is to ask the PPG rep what products and steps to take to do this job. Ask for TDS sheets on all the products and read them thoroughly before starting each step. I am not sure what the American prices for for paint materials are, but it probably won't be dirt cheap to do this...but spend the money and do it properly so you don't have to do this again!

Not to sound preachy either...but make sure you have all your safety gear, gloves, respirator, etc. Plastic products are quite volatile!

Good luck
