      How hard to paint dash without taking out interior?

      Or the doors off.

      I had the car painted Indigo Blue Metallic, but due to problems with the painter, it needs repainted. So I'm going to repaint it black for future color change options.

      I also painted the engine bay the same thinking that would be cool, but they missed the core support and brake fluid messed up the paint on the firewall.



      It's not a huge deal for me to pull the motor and dissasemble the front clip to paint it black, but I'm worried about when I should have the dash done.

      Thanks.

      If you do go black- make it at least a satin or matte finish (roughly 10% gloss for smoothness). Otherwise, you'll have some serious glare.

      I'd take things apart and do it right... but I'm the guy who's done a whole frame-off because of a dropped intake valve.

      I'm going to do it right, but I want to get the car on the road fairly quickly. So I may end up taking it apart again.
