jon1178 Posted September 26, 2011 Report Share Posted September 26, 2011 i was cleaning the interior today and was wiping my dash down and a whole section about 2"x3" wiped right off down to the black right above the stereo. i cant stand to leave it like this. has anyone pulled the dash off to repaint and how much of a pita is it and what paint and color was used. i dont know weather or not to attempt this myself or just take it to an automotive upholstery shop and see if they can maybe fix just the spot that is peeling.

silverado_ss_04 Posted September 26, 2011 Report Share Posted September 26, 2011 Taking the dash off is very easy. I took mine off in like 5 min Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JasonHensley22 Posted September 26, 2011 Report Share Posted September 26, 2011 What peeled off? The paint? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon1178 Posted September 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2011 How exactly does it come off is it just clips that hold it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miller812 Posted September 26, 2011 Report Share Posted September 26, 2011 wow i have never seen one that bad before. the dash is very easy to take off. when you go to paint it, unless you want the terxture still i say either sound down the texture that is on it with is a pita or bondo it smooth and then sand it smooth then primer, then paint it black. then it is different then other silverados and looks awesome.

Guest JasonHensley22 Posted September 26, 2011 Report Share Posted September 26, 2011 Wow i've never seen that happen, I wonder if it was a defect from the factory or maybe because your in a hot place with the sun beating down on it so much... odd. Let us know how it goes and take pictures after it's repainted, i'd be interested in how it comes out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it drives me crazy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
20"silverado Posted October 3, 2011 Report Share Posted October 3, 2011 a guy on gmfs took his off and power washed it down to just the black, then reinstalled. Looked pretty good imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
