Show off your DIY painted dash

[AnebuR]

Is anyone making these aftermarket? Think there is a demand for someone to? I’m disabled and suck at painting so I was curious. Thanks

Go to Amazon, eBay or AliExpress and search for JL Wrangler Trim. There are a bunch of cheap stick-on overlays that are way easier than painting stuff.

Anybody done their panels in a wrap? At least the passenger side. Not much of an airbrush artist like urr2slo but I was thinking of designing something. Blank canvas indeed.

Awesome! Great thread btw! I love sting gray! Did you consider a sting gray dash?

What color was yours originally if you painted it gray

 

[Jammer]

This looks great

I love the red panels. Black leather seats with red stitching with a red – I love it. Saw somebody with the mojito green do their dashing red way too much look like a Christmas tree he said it looks like Christmas tree he said. He said he wish he would have never done it

Done with Mopar rattle cans and a gloss clear. Punk'n orange.

That'll get the attention of a cop when you reach for your registration. LOL

That helps when I have credentials of my own......

Not a JL but I did what Jeep should have done in the first place!

All these dashes look great! Has anyone had any trouble in the summer (when the windows are up and cab gets real hot) with the paint getting tacky?

I've had the dash in my Sport painted since last year and have had no troubles with the paint. I'm sure the Desert Southwest is much hotter than PA.

I’m hoping to obtain a spare set of dash panels (the red rubicon ones - my Bikini Rubicon came with the grey/silver) to experiment with paint without having to drive a vehicle that’s partially dismantled.

I’m torn between painting them Bikini to match the body color or to find a white or pearl white that I like to add some contrast to the interior. Ultimately I suppose I could do one, install it and then do the other with the removed panels.

I just found this post and will definitely be painting our dash Bikini to match the body. This is really what Jeep should offer from the factory. I need to think about the finish being either hi-gloss or matte. Leaning toward gloss right now. I also want to wait until the ambient temps are up a bit more (especially at night) so I think this will be a small project for June. Will post photos unless someone else with Bikini beats me to it.

best 35 spent so far on her

The color makes the interior look much more well done. Black and gray everything gets real boring. Not the cheapest if you use a paint shop, but a great finish

Well I just bought a bunch of extra panels to play around here with some paint in a couple of weeks, not sure what i am going to stick with (painted speaker grilles). I will post up some pics, too bad i can't do airbrush work.
