painted dash?

just say no too rice
Actually if done properly it would look like a factory color option much like the seats. So I wouldn't say it would look "rice" at all.
Brad, if you could get a good digital pic and have someone Photochop it with the new color you'd have a good idea what it would look like. Just a suggestion.

I have been thinking of something along those lines as well. The Battleship grey interior of my Mystichrome is a bit dull. I would like to do a two tone black and grey.
pimp my ride.

Yeah I'm not talking about the Krylon touch here. I want someone to fill the whole dash to remove that fake leather finish, sand it down, primer, sand, primer sand, base coat, base coat, sand, clear coat, polish. It would be the same finish as the exterior of the car.

Yeah that's a good idea, I just snapped a pic and sent it off to my photoshop buddy, we'll see.

battle ship grey, LOL. I think if this were done right, it would make the whole interior look about 50 million times better. It would be alot of work though.
The only thing I would do is install the silver trim parts similar to the mach's. I think a smooth painted dash would be too much. What to do if you scratch it?
I have a friend with a comp orange cobra with the plastic thing around the gauge cluster painted orange and it looks really good ill try and get some pics of it to post in the morning.

Buff it out.
This is what I had in mind... Work that all the way back to the middle section between the two front seats. It's pretty much just a wild idea right now that will prob never happen.. but I'd be curious to see if anyone has done this.
I mean I don't have a sheet metal dash, but this is the idea.
i painted my trim pieces with titanium metallic to match the shifter and gauge cluster
a few more pictures
Looks good!
Brad, be sure you really want to do the whole dash. In my mind, filling/sanding/painting is going to make the dash look like an aftermarket piece. Might also take a real dent into the resale value. Just some thoughts. I know you like to play around with this stuff. Maybe you're TOO creative. LOL! Best of luck buddy. Let us know what you finally do, and post pics of course.
Hey Brad, what ever happened to Mike? With the Kenne Bell. I haven't seen him here or on any of the other Cobra forums. Just curious what he's been up to and if he's still modding his '03.

Well I checked one out at a show.. it looks really good but the dent in my wallet would be to large to justify it, I could almost buy a whipple.
I have no idea what went down with mike, I have not talked to him in about a year. He's never online anymore either. Last I talked to him he said he was thinking about selling the mustang, but who knows if he did that or not.
