Painting Dash Surround

[killswitch88]

hey guys ive come to the conclusion that the dash surround of my r33 needs to be stripped off and re-painted as there is alot of scratches and chips in the paint on it. Also the gearstick and handbrake boots are in shitehouse condition so ill be pickin up a new set of them through the group buy section i was just looking for some opinions on the colour combo that i should go for. extra info: ill also be sending the door trims away to have that velour bit changed to white leather aswell. dash surround and section to be painted are pictured below

any feedback/advice would be greatly appreciated

Hi guys,

I have a S2 33 gtst and I'm going to go gloss black on the dash and tan leather on the gear boot, park brake boot, door trims and seats (only on the shit worn out bits, not the central coloured bits). Id also like to get the steering wheel and park brake handle done, but I'm not sure how it would come out/cost...

hey i can take a pic for you when my gear gaiter and handbrake surround come in but mine is white dash surround, white face gauges with soon to be white and black gear gaiter and handbrake surround.

Depends on your cars exterior colour in my oppinion (mines white so when looking from the outside in it suits it perfectly)

do the dash surround in a nice glossy piano black finish. It's a great colour and not over the top.

And with the boots, it really depends. If you are going to get you seats retrimmed aswell, go for whatever colour you want to do the seats in, and if you're not going to get them retrimmed then go for black.

And also with the door trims don't do them white. Once again do them black unless you're going to get the seats retrimmed aswell.

I think that you should do the dash surround in a nice glossy piano black finish, and them do the seats/door trims/boots in something like red leather.

Post up pics when you've made your choices and got it all done.
