So I got tired of looking at all the small chips in the horrible coating on the tiny bumps on my waterfall and decided to sand and repaint it.

First I disassembled and pried apart the gauges from the main waterfall peice. Disassembled the door, springs and button.

Took 8 hours to sand the parts down and another 4-5 of finishing sanding. Then many coats of primer and paint, sanding and paint then finally clear to get this.



Don't mind my dirty floormat or crappy cell phone pic

 

Waterfall no??

 

^^^

I see what you did there lol

I like it...not to too shiny

 

fixed

 

turned out pretty good man

 

dont like texture? got a installed picture?

 

I didn't not like it but I tried a coat of paint before sanding smooth and it just kept clumping in a few spots. The smooth look definitely adds a nice upgraded touch!

Thanks! Took enough weekends without a waterfall for it to come out good.

 

nice work, I'm gonna try and wrap mine in carbon fiber and put suede on the dash

 

Great work man.

Post pics when it's re installed

 

+1 for installed pics

Looks good

 

Installed pics please.


Mine isnt scratched up and I always have 3 shih tzus in my car. What gets it scratched?

 

Previous owner, they were only 2 small scratches but they were staring at me everytime I got in the car

 

Looks good, my dash is currently apart and myself and a friend have been slowly doing the same thing as you

It is such a massive PITA

 

Updated with a new pic

 

Doesn't look too bad. Good job for a DIY project.
