DIY color match painted dash?

[Chocolate Thunder]

I’ve seen wraps. I’ve seen red-silver swaps. I’ve seen professionally painted dash (the Mojito! one looks amazing). But has anyone painted their dash using Mopar color matched spray paint themselves? If so, pics please.

Where would I buy Mopar spray paint? If I could find Sting Gray, I will do it. Right now mine is painted with "plastic dip" type removable paint.

Is Sting Gray PDN paint code? If so:

Mopar actually makes spray cans of color matched paints too but you’d probably have to search harder than I did. I was kinda lazy.

Holy shit. That’s awesome

The most nerve racking part was taking apart the dash and not breaking anything. I had to remove the climate controls to get to the one screw that connects the top part of the dash behind the stereo. I started with the OEM bright white paint but found it didn't have enough gloss so I went with a standard glossy white paint. It looks really good in person.

How about more photos if you’re able?
The low sun is making the color look distorted on this one but it looks good from what I can see.

Here are before an after but I'll get some interior shots later today.

Nice. Thanks. You know that the OEM spray paint is only the color coal and is supposed to be topped with the clear coat that’s glossy, right?

Yes, but my issue with clear coat is that it can leave an orange residue that you'll have to wax off. The lazy in me gave up on that idea and went with gloss white.

Just painted my dash to match my Ocean Blue JLU. Found the paint on Amazon. It’s made by Mopar. Matches exactly. I put 2 coats of clear coat over top the blue. Now I need a leather dash with blue stitching to match

Well I bought the paint, now I need to pull the dash.

This is exactly what I wanted to see. I ordered Ocean Blue and I’ve ordered color matched spray paint as well. Once it’s here and taken apart I might see if a local with silver wants to swap for my red because a lot of people find the red attractive. I don’t particularly. I like the monochromatic look of matching the body color. Thanks for the photos.

Dude, that is fantastic. I just got two cans of Ocean Blue a couple of days ago. Sorry but I'm going to totally copycat you.
