I found these on the one of the other sites. I hope to do my car in Alcantara one day.

It was time ... so I reached to the bottom of my pocket and pulled out a $20. Just my luck! That's all it costs to get rid of that horrible "sticky" grey paint on a gen 1!!!

(The weird orange is a flash over-exposure.... It's red like most '94 Vipers)

Does anyone know if a Gen 1 glove box is the same size as a Gen 2 airbag? I'd rather have a glove box in mine.

What did you use? I will probably start this project during the summer.

There are a bunch of posts on this topic.... search...


I used oven cleaner to remove the old paint.. (Don't use gasket remover..).. Clean it off really good... steel wool helps. Use finer and finer as you get ready for paint. Then some Flat black spraypaint from Home Depot, Walmart etc... (for plastic..)Take your time and it's a piece-of-cake!

Easy weekend project.

Gloss does add some flash I'd say, but I went with flat because I drive my car alot and figured gloss would show more rubs, scratches etc....

To each their own. Either way, it's a pretty easy job to change the color/paint/sheen..

From what I've heard the flat is a lot easier to scratch...

It's a ***** of a car to begin with so why not. Actually it's better than a *****. You can take it out in public.

Did anyone use a flat clear coat or some type of paint protective "film"?The dash scratches very easily and I'd hate to do this again. I plan to repaint mine the same grey since I want to keep it stock.

The dash does look better in black and the black plastic looks less cheap than in grey.

What color black did you use, satin or flat? Did you paint the bezels, around your instruments, a gloss black? Or keep it the same as the rest?

I have a '95, w/ the grey interior. I have cleaned all the rubber grey coating off my dash, and I'm taking it out today to get painted. Black Satin, and I'm wondering if I should paint around the bezels or not. If I do, it would be gloss.


Btw, your interior looks really good, looks like a professional shot!

My interior is red/black so white or red won't look right. I've to stick to all black. I m doing every plastic piece inside, not just the dash. Here's a pic of my interior for reference...
