Projects Painted the backside of my dash white

Not really my idea, stole it from the local custom car builder up her Ken Allmon. It just seemed like a good idea. I wanted to seal it up anyway and think how much easier it will be to spot stuff when working under it after install.

 

Damn good idea! Something so simple, but serves a good purpose.

 

I always did that in my race cars. Easier to see the wires.

 

Its the simple things that make the difference. Great tip, thanks for sharing!

 

I have done it on the last couple of cars, it really makes it nice to see what you are doing if ya have to get in there when the car is together.

 

Yep, a good trick I have used. When ya hafta wear bifuckles , ya need all the help ya can git!

 

Huh, never thought of that but sure makes sense. I think i'll do that to my 32 when i get back to it.
Thanks for the tip.

I've done that the last couple of times. Really helps to see during the wiring and assembly process and also to make revisions or repairs after it's done.

 

Shot mine grey, same idea. Works!

 

Brilliant (pun intended) idea! I'll be doing that to my Essex dash.

 

Good idea , I did mine light grey .

 

Great tip... Hell, next time I'll paint the whole inside of the cowl and firewall, too! Gary

 

Shit, I never thought of that.....I painted mine chassis black.....

SHIT!

Oh well....

 

Yep, too simple not to have thought of this years ago. Great tip !

 

That is a good idea.... While you're at it how about installing a couple small lights on a switch for those times you need to get under there . Would beat holding a flash light.

 

so cool and simple ...good tip most of haven't thought of

How timely this post is, I am doing a dash in my rig and will do the white paint and the lights beind. Damn this site friggin rules. Sharing is caring and we certainly have some cool folks helpin each other out. Thanx a bunch, my Ranch Wagon had a padded dash that went bad and the previous folks did a great job of slicking it up and spray bombing it, but was lucky enough to find a 59 Ford dash already taken out and laying in the back of a 59 Ranchero at one of our local u-pull-its, set me back 24.99, going to powder coat it black. ~sololobo~

 

That makes sense anywhere you've got to get into to do maintenance - inside door panels, behind the dash, under seats. I've even painted the inside of the cabinet under the kitchen sink.

 

Ditto,HRP

 

good idea.

 

I'm way too hardcore for that shit! I'd paint mine black just to be a bad ass! Thats REAL!!!


-Kidding. Thats actually a great idea. Thanks for sharing the knowledge.

 

Brilliant!

 

Now I know what to do

 

pretty cool idea , i never gave it a thought to how much briter it would make it working with a drop lite behind the dash , or put a small dome lite/ or colored lite down there and the reflection would toss quite a bit of lite when the doors are opened

 

That is brilliant. I gotta commit this one to memory.
