Has anyone repainted their dash cluster surround? Mine is starting to get a bit worn. If you have-any recommendations on paint and procedure?

 

Ever thought of polishing it with an abrasive compound?

 

Just buy some rubbing compound and polish it up.. the piece you want to paint is made of plastic and the paint wont stick well.. tapping it with your key or something on accident will probably cause it to chip and expose it to peel even more

 

What would happen with rubbing compound on plastic? Isn't it painted from the factory?

 

What paint? Arent you talking about the black plastic dash piece that surrounds the Speedometer cluster

 

on the 2002 and up its a dark silver color jfyi

 

^ Actually its just the 02-03. 00-01 and 04 and up use a black surround as well.

 

i've only had an 01 and 02 so i figured they'd keep painting on the newer ones

 

Yes it's the dark silver and I've got some slight mottling (specks).

 

The silver comes off with alcohol. Same for on the console in an 02. Take it off and rub alcohol on it or some other cleaner and it's black underneath.
