Re: Has anybody else did this with their dash?
Personally, I like it. When you install it, take a pic of the interior with it in it.

Re: Has anybody else did this with their dash?
Take a pic with it in the truck. I personally just like the black in there but everyone is different. Hope it looks great in the truck. Thats the beauty of paint... you can always paint it some other color if you don't like it.

Re: Has anybody else did this with their dash?
what does the rest of the dash/truck look like? because this could look really good if the rest of the truck matches, or it could look very cartoony other wise

He is a pic of my '69 GMC 2500 Custom Camper (unrestored). My gauge cluster is painted a slightly darker color than the body and it matched my glovebox door and both door panels (not shown in this picture).
