I put a headunit in mine then vinyl coated it;

It still needs tidying up a little bit though...

I would recommend vinyl coating it instead of painting as it's quite easy and cheap to do.

Like them ideas guys, is the vinyl easy to fit on without creaseing.
Keep ideas coming everyone ,still want to know if there's s paint you can get to cover dash rails?
Thanks so far.

Very easy, all you have to do is glue behind it then stretch it then once the glue has stuck, then lightly heat it to "relax" the material which'll also remove any stretch marks.

Cool will have a think about that then.
Keep ideas coming please folks ?

my 7port dash is flocked

I recovered my top and bottom dash rails in thin foam and then used suede over the top, I think it came out ok------>
But if you are looking to paint them Halfords do a Vinyl paint that works well

These look grate how much did it cost and does the suade/flock get damaged when you install the dash?
