Post you dash, I need help

[smug]

I need some help here. After modifying my dash to accept a double din navigation head unit, I can not reproduce the exact color and texture of the trim on the dash. I am a perfectionist so having one piece of trim not match the rest is really annoying to me and I have decided to paint the dash trim and center counsel trim a totally different color, pulling the vents out, and smoothing the trim out. I have a white GP, black interior, and I dont want to go with any thing loud or rice color. Sorry guys, no bright red, lime green, bright white, or anything that will clash.
My three ideas are
satin silver, exactly the same as a special edition or Daytona
storm grey, similar to the bottom of the bumper but darker.
gloss black


If you have any pics or ideas please post them up.

when i did a custom headunit setup on my 92 imperial i couldnt find anything to match so i went to the junkyard and cut a large section of the plastic foam backed fabric off of the dash of a matching car. i shaved off the foam and 3m glued it to the new parts.
just an idea that may work for ya

BEFORE:

AFTER: Some ripple something or other from ACE hardware

Car was much more pleasant to drive... the interior felt.. roomier. Weird.

that looks like the hammared paint that Krylon or Rustoleum has.

Not bad

thanks!

I need some better pics. I figured my almighty god iPhone 4 would have taken a nicer picture.

Nice job. I like it. What about the ashtray? Can't tell if it should be painted as well.

 

[smug]

I dont think it should because I think it would look out of place. The silver really looks more toned down in person and a little bright in the pictures.

I Like it. But something looks odd in the head on view with the pillar. Maybe its just the light, and I can't quite put my finger on it.
