Wanted to try it out, thanks to the cool ideas of the members here. Used that Krylon paint for plastics, just put a few coats. Need to do it again as I got impatient and when pushing them back in, smudged a little.
But, heres a pic:

 

i thought the paint looked off at first but realized it matches your seats more then the outside which was a good idea b/c now the seats arent out of place

 

Yeah, it looks really good in person, i'm not great at taking pictures, the sun kind of threw the color off a bit, but you're right, it does match the seats.

 

do the part in the center to blend it all together
other then that it look O.K., maybe you should have used matallic, but then it wouldn't have matched the seats.

Definetly something unique and different. Not bad but why didnt you do the piece around the radio as well?

 

Well i'm susended from work for the rest of the week, so I guess that will give me something to do with the car!

 

cool man, looks good. welcome to the painted dash club, lol

 

It looks good

 

o0oo how hard was it to get to the guages?

 

Looks better than I thought it would. Im not really feeling the senter console thought. I really like what you did with the gauges but id much rather see it in person.

 

dude what type of paint did you use that looks sick. I may not do the center but the trim looks really nice and it will also match my interior as well.

Someone write up a how to

 

Rustoleum Plastic Primer, and DupliColor Cherry Red with DupliColor Clear.

That looks sweet as hell!.. If I was more handy I'd do it too but... I dont' wanna mess it up.

 

looks good guys what did yall use to take off the panels? Or did yall just use good old hand power? Also when I plan to do mine I'm gonna figure out a way to paint the silver trim parts on the door panels.

 

how to on the lights?

 

To get the panels off, yes I used force, and no matter what I do, even removing those panels, I end up bleeding somehow. lol

 

yeah just manpower on the panels. my radio panel sucked, it was on there good!

and use some of this:

 

did u paint the top and bottem black? or did u have an all black dash?

 

LOL I keep forgetting that not all Cobalts have black dashes...

 

Hahaha, I did exactly the same thing.

Looks good.

 

my bottem pieces are grey, i want black door panels and black bottem dash

 

i got suspended from work too!!! haha!

 

it was all black

 

i bought a silver car.... and VIOLA it matches
