Dash Top, Black or Body Colour

  1. Hello All,

    With the bus in for paint, the windscreen is out I thought id get the dash top off for a repaint aswell.

    Do you all think it should be black, or would look better body colour?
     
  2. Most of them are black,,so for that reason do the body colour
     
  3. Matt or satin black will cut down reflections. A shiney lighter colour will reflect in the windscreen.

  4. I've driven all sorts and satin black will always get my vote. Way too many irritating reflections with anything else
     
  5. Mines done in body colour but satin finish

    Got to be orange.

    Preferably very bright metallic orange.

    Never had any glare problem.

    Ribbons are optional though.

    As above, mine is in Old English White as per the top of the bus.
    No reflection issues.

  12. Any pictures from the guys with light/white colours?
    The pictures I've seen of them always seem to show a marked reflection in the windscreen

    I'll try and get one later
     
  14. To be fair, I have a VW Bora as my daily and this has a black / dark grey dash and when the sun hits that even I get a reflection in the screen so I think any colour would work - it's personal preference.
    The top of ours will be Old English as per Baysearchers and if there is a reflection then we will put up with it or leave the screen dirty! ;)

    Satin black or dark body colour....

    My preference (as this weekends activities will attest to) is Matt black top, white bottom :)
