How hard on a scale of one to ten is it to take out your dash to paint it? Is there better options?



thanks

 

well, the painting is easy

follow this DIY -https://www.hondacivicforum.com/m_56988/tm.htm

but you dont have to take out the dash, just pop off all the stuff like heater vents/trim that you dont want painted and then use alot of news paper and cover the rest till you have just the dash open,then spray, i did this in my old car and it worked out very well

if you did want to take out the dash, i have never completely taking in out, but from what people say, it can be a bit of a pain

 

thanks dude! Im now leaning towards paint in car and cover everything with news paper.

 

here are some pics of my old car when i painted my dash, came out really nice, but like i sead...i took EVERYTHING i could off first like all the trim and painted that by themselfs, took the doors apart, back panels apart..the only thing that was left in my car when i painted it was the dash

it really depends what car you have. i can take an ef dash out in about 30 minutes, but i can't even pull a eg radio out without scratching my head for a second.

 

If you paint your dash you will regret it down the line.

 

i agree, but it is your car. and if you try to sell it, most people don't want something that has been modded in anyway, especially interior wise.

 

^ i agree with you, when i tried to sell my old car no one liked the inside, i ended up selling it to a young guy

 

yeah i can see what you guys are saying, i wouldn't want someones car that had been painted on the inside. I am just painting it black however but still.

Mill$ it looks like you did a good job on your interior.



oh and whats an EF dash?

 

EF = 88-91 civics, crx, civic hatch, etc.
