Well I had some clear coat laying around that wasnt being used so I said y not paint my dash with it? So I cleaned the dash off well after taking it out of the car, then i put 2 coats of clearcoat onto the big dash peice and then let it try and cure and then put it back into my car. I think it looks really good and I havent seen it done before and looks similar to that of the "Ultimate Dash Kit" that pfyc.com offers for 400 dollars. Of course it doesnt have the carbon fiber finish look but it does have the glossyness that i think even looks better then that kit. Anyhow was just wondering if anyone here has done that before or if im first one here.

To me it depends. If it compliments the interior it's good if it stands out like a sore thumb then...

I havent seen one with clear yet. It just might look good. I'll reserve judgement till I see pics.

If you pick the right color it's not. And by right color I mean anything that doesn't start with the word neon.
