All,
We have a white 2 door jl sport. My Fiance has been wanting to paint the gun metal dash and other gun metal bits and pieces for a while. We finally got around to it.
We vinyl wrapped the dash in Matte black for now. We didn't do the best job, but now we know we like it enough to take the panels to a body shop.
The HVAC controls came apart much easier than I thought. I didn't take step-by-step photos (sorry) but it is very doable if you have a supply of bits and screwdrivers.
The knobs also came apart very easily.
If you are comfortable taking plastic pieces apart, it is very simple. We hit everything with black plastic dip to make sure we liked it. We may do it permanently one day, but for now we love it.
We also hit the stupid chrome bar on the radio (we have to re-do that one) and the Media/12V panel below the HVAC controls. We couldn't take the one apart (plastic welds?) so we painted around it and peeled the plastic dip from the areas we did not want it.
I will take better photos after we get the dash painted if there is sufficient interest.
Thanks!
