You dont want to paint them, you want to coat them. Paint will scratch off, a coating will not. I know its available now but most people don't know its around. Drop me you contact info and I will let you know what I find. I want it for my H2 too! http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif BIG-C

I looked into this as I am planning on coloring my dash as well. My local body shop (good reputation) said they would paint/coat them with the same exact finish as the exterior. This to me seems extremely durable. Definetley more durable than the origonal finish. I was planning on getting this done next week. What is the difference between coating and painting.

Doug,

A coating is like the fake wood they put on the Denali and Escalade dashs. It wraps the plastic and will not peel off like paint will. You can get a wood finish or a painted look from the same prossess. Its hard to make paint stick to plastic, they have plastic prep cleaners to help but in the end if anything nicks it or you bends the plastic it will peel off. You can get paint to look very good but its a matter of time till it starts to come off. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif BIG-C

We can paint your dash. It is just one step eliminated from our normal processing for our wood grain or carbon fiber looks. See here http://www.elegantwooddesign.com/H2_source_only.htm
