Finished Interior painting/sound deadening!

That moment when you know you pushed too hard and have to show the guys on tw......

 

poor gauge rings... what did you do?? Lol

 

pushed a little too hard with the flat head on the clip and it slipped off.... im painting it anyways. ill just wait til I can buy a new one from the dealership.... =(

 

I'd simply superglue it back together. Lay the ring pieces face down on a horizontal piece of glass to keep them perfectly flat and glue them. just use a tiny bit of glue. Wipe off any excess immediately, and then paint the ring. The coating of paint will cover the glued seams.

 

Hey does anyone have detailed directions on after removing the coin holder and the two screws for removing the dash? I did see pics on these but where do you start to pull from to take the dash face out in order to paint the rings? I really wanna be carefull and not break anything.......?

 

I cant remember 100%... but I think there were one or two bolts at the bottom of the dash.. and then firmly pull. And you took out the two little screws above the gauge cluster right?

 

There is one 10MM screw under the coin tray that I removed then took out the two screws at the top of the dash. So I am at that point where I am looking for more information as to where to start pulling out the dash I have an 09 Offroad............just don't want to break or hack anything up............

 

This looks great. Any special instructions on removing the Toyota logo on the steering wheel? Does it just pop off?

 

Updated first post with the how to's on both.

I wrote them out but they got lost within the thread.

 

very clean look.

you should paint your DIN and a/c surround black like mine

 

Thanks!

I've been thinking of painting the ac vent surrounds black, and the inner part white.

 

I was thinking of installing sound deadening mat on the roof.. So dang loud..

 

im sorry but i must have missed what kind of paint you used...

 

For the white - Krylon Fusion

For the black - Duplicolor OEM trim paint

 

Thanks Moose- Sick truck btw

 

No Problem. Thanks man!

Hey guys did you use any like paint protector once you finished with the krylon spray? Mine is done but I'm afraid of of getting scratched so I was hoping there was a clear coat that would prevent that.

 

nope. its been over 2 years since i posted this thread and no peeling, scratching, etc. :thumsup:

 

Coming in late to the party here, but with the grey peice surrounding the shifter that you painted black, that just pulls right up after you unscrew the other part? Also, the grey gauge rings just pop off, or do you need to pull apart the dash?
