So im thinking of painting my dash inserts...

But I went looking around and though....hey....why not?


http://www.duplicolor.com/products/mirage.html


So...problem is, I got a blue '07, and Im looking, and theres a red/blue, but thats it for blue-like. Theres the ice as well, but Im not sure.

Anyone want to throw in a suggestion? The ice would blend better with the radio, but the blue goes with the rest of the car....or the others might contrast better. Still debating so i thought I'd ask

I'm not a big fan of Duplicolor....I've had problems with their paint in the past, so I stick to Krylon now....but if you really want to use the stuff you posted, I like the red/blue best...the ice looks too much like stock.

I painted all the interior parts on my Cavalier....my only advice, be patient. And make sure the coats are completely dry before spraying again. Its best to do it on a rather hot day in the sun....goes a lot faster that way.

I used Duplicolor on my interior and had to problems. Just do as the others say and take your time, no need to rush it. But it's way easy and it took me a day. I was happy with the results, ohh and by the way I did my interior blue.

I had bought this kit when it first came out. As long as you take your time it turns out great. Only probs I had with it were the glare from the sun and headlights at night since most of my dash was done in it.
