So i decided to do the DIY black center dash on NASIOC. But i also wasn't a fan of the other gray areas like the a-pillars, the rear plastic in the hatch area, or the seat belt pilars. So i manned up and took off everything. NASIOC recommended using a paint called "plasti-dip" It's about 5 bucks a can. The only prep work required was taking everything out and cleaning it with rubbing alcohol and taping over what doesn't need to be painted. All in all, to do everything it took 7 hours. So props to Jake "projekblubook" and another guy Dave with a Leggy GT for helping me. The pics aren't that great cause i used my wife's camera phone cause i lost my camera cord, so enjoy. I should be at the next meet, unless my wife is squeezing out son if you wanna take a closer look then.

 

nice I only did the HVAC cover and the vents.

 

sorry about the sideways pics and i couldn't get pics for the seat belt columns.

 

pretty damn nice!!!!...thanks alot now ive got that project running through my mind 7 hours?? i just may be the next one to change to black myself!!

thats freaking nice. i too also have the blacked out center cousle, and ac/heater vents the pass n driver side but have oyu ever thought about dying the headliner some how to give it a complete blacked out interior? i've been wantin to do that but i dont know what aproach to when i do decide on blacking it out

 

the headliner should be easy to redo.

should be about the same way you do the door cars

we are doing mine this weekend along with the turbo upgrade as long as my turbo comes in.

 

i've been wanting to do this for a long time, but didn't know if it was possible. is there a pic of the paint you used for the pillars and how would i go about as changing my headliner to black.

ever since i sat in my friend's black 20th aniv GTI, i've fallen inlove with the black headliner!

 

the same paint was used for everything. its called plasti dip. unfortunately I threw it away. and we`re not swapping any turbo jake. do u need help with yours jon...always good to have a second hand.

 

nice....the radio bezel has the whole spec c look

 

looks like ing going to be redoing mine pretty soon

 

now all you need is a black roof

 

Thanks for the offer.

I'll let you know when I'll be doing this. I WILL be doing my headliner so I'll post pics
