Dash trim modification! Cheap!
Using Dupli-color "HVP-103" (silver) vinyl and fabric coating ($5.99 at local parts store) I painted the bezels of the vent. I will put the simple instructions in the write-ups. It looks incredible, like the show-Jeeps. I am thinking of doing the shift bezel next!

Looks good!
That really looks good. I have the silver dash kit, so it might not look as good on mine. I once did the whole interior of a Bronco II with black plastic paint. The Bronco had red interior, and I wanted it to be black. Surprisingly, the plastic paint was really durable.

Very nice. Will most likely do this.

Kyrlon Fusion for plastic is a good paint as well...
I repainted my TJ dash black, it still holding up 3 years later.. Nice modification. |
looks great, I was waiting for some type of trim to come out, but I do it myself.
Will that hold up? |
hey man looks like you have the basic dash kit like me. I was thinking about pulling the gagues and painting them silver too. That looks really good. did those things just pop off?

I was thinking of EXACTLY doing this.
The shift bevel would look cool too. |
Warning shift bezel fragile!
I decided to finish the job. Pulling the shift knob off was easy, pulling the boot/bezel out was easy. Separating the inner piece and top piece is impossible without breaking the plastic rivets holding it together. Then there is no turning back. Looks like industrial strength glue and possibly some self-tapping screws. Will post some pics when I am done. :thinking:
