    HJ GTS dash Repainting...

    Over the weekend i finally got a chance to repaint my uncut HJ dash (It had the silver removed)..
    Only problem is i had it in my head that these were painted silver then masked and painted black...
    I have had the correct masks cut with masking material ( from the guy on eBay tat sells the dash stickers).
    I plastic primed it and then painted it Portland grey . It looks good.

    My question is. Have i done this ass about?

    I think i should of masked the whole dash and just painted the silver..

    Now to find a black that will look good.. I was thinking a satern black would look good..

    Any advice appreciated

    That is the correct way Vanman, paint silver, then mask and paint the black. I hope you wet sanded the silver areas before painting otherwise the mask will pull off the silver paint. The correct colour is Dulon Suede Black... a flat black.
