Hi, my paint on my dash is peeling is there anything i could use to get it all off? white spirit? or something like that? someone before i bought the car sprayed it & didnt do a good job. i dont want to take the dash out just want to get rid of the paint looks horibble peeling.

for the price of replacing it from someone on here breaking a car id just take it out and pop a new one in. could be very messy doing it in the car.

failing that, try a heat gun see if you can make it peel fully from where its already started?

i myself have never taken one out. een a lot of threads with people doing it though. i think it looks much worse than it is. try a search on removing dash and see what it brings up....

Are you talking about the centre insert part with the vents?

dont heat gun the dash, and dont think you would ever get all the paint off, would just look messy...

could get a flocked dash... ;)

I'll have a dash for sale in a week or two, just waiting for another one to come back from the flockers. Can have it for a ten sheet, comes with an airbag too.
