View Full Version : Blue dash

When carsales.com-ing the rcolt and seeing different pics, I couldn't help noticing the blue dash. But to my relief, its only in the flash... as seen in my pics... I would have preferred all black...
Must be something with the surface texture, reflecting back the flash's light...

Stop driving at midnight and you will see the blue :p
Luckily, its not that visable. Not only RColt, even Ford XR4 also come with blue dash. So, we are not alone

Blue sucks the ducks!!!
I don't like that vivid blue as captured in the flash pics... I can live with the dash I have... Though I have been tempted to go back to supercheap auto for some $2.99 black spray paint :eek:

Same here. I would love to go all black. Keep us posted
you need VHT Vinyl dye spray paint. You need to make sure the dash is clean of oils and spray in thin coats. You'll need ~4-6 cans to do the whole dash. I helped my bro do his lancer's dash white/cream from dark grey and it turned out really good.

If you're gonna bother, wait for the new Colt release and do a swap like aby82 suggested. It's definitely tempting, but probably not worth it.
