Default Painted Dash

I'm sure there are a million posts on this, but I searched and could not find any. I was considering painting my dash, but wanted to see some pictures of how it looked. So if anyone has some pics I would appreciate it.

I'm sure there isn't a million and one posts on this; because painting the dash is for Honda Civic or Chevy Cavalier "tuners"...

Leave the dash as is, unless you are doing some crazy custom fiberglass and paintwork; which I doubt.

I wasn't going to just take it off and spray it with spray paint. I was going to have a body shop do it. I am going to get the 03 cubby for my 05 and I heard that they don't match, so i was going to just paint the whole thing. I was only going to do it if it looked nice, and not spray painted. That's why I wanted to see some pics first.

Have seen it done very well on a DBZ in Palm Beach. Maybe Mead?

Thanks for the pics. I like the way some of those look. I talked to the guy at my bodyshop and he recommended that I don't do it since it's a daily driver. He said the glare is bad. I guess if I'm going to do it I should just get a fiberglass dash made so it looks better.
