Author Topic: Clear Coat for re-dyed dash (Read 9316 times)

I dyed (with SEM) my dash yesterday, and so far I am very happy with how it looks. On Fbodyware.com's website, they mention that they clear coat everything they dye with a satin clear coat. Since SEM doesn't make a clear coat, I bought some Krylon satin crystal clear today. I'm wondering if anyone else has had any experience or has any opinions about clear coating a dyed dash (or other parts for that matter). I'm kind of hesitant - once it put it back it the car I don't want to ever have to take it out again!

How long did it take you to take the dash out? Was it that difficult?

It took a couple of hours. There was a lot to disconnect, and I'm sure it's going to take some time and thought to get everything reconnected correctly!

SEM do sell clear coat--it is call satin gloss and I am very happy with the way it look. Make sure you spray one light coat at a time. let it dry then spray more.
