Mz_Vz_Ute · 08-01-2007, 07:42

Hi guys,
Just wondering if anyone knows where i can get my dashboard custom painted?
I've been on the Adelaide Ute Accessories website and was looking for soemthing similar but in Melbourne. If anyone knows anywhere can you please let me know, and a rough idea on pricing would be good aswell.
Here's the link to the Adelaide one.
and a couple of pics i've found.

Hey u cam do it yourself its not that hard remove the dash and clean it wipe it down and get some vinyl spray paint from supercheap or repco and a way u go or u would be able to goto a spray painter/panelbeater and they would be able to do it for u but they would prob charge u about $150 or more to do it for u

Anyone who does motor trimming should be able to help. Try searching for "auto trimmers- melbourne" with google.

Jeez you're a brave girl! I would be wary of doing anything like that in my ute.... Purely because it could potentially lower the value when I came to sell it. Say if you paint it pink that will cut out all the bloke buyers! It does look great though!

Have been thinking about doing something similar but have had the same concerns milfy mentioned about lowering resale value

Colour-code it with the vehicle and you shouldn't have a drama. Any spray painter should be able to handle that job for you I'd reckon.

Doosh, a mate of mine did it to his VY SS and as far as I know to a few of his mate's as well who all have VY SS's.

I'll talk to him Sunday and find out for sure.
