hi everyone. I’m looking to change the look of my dashboard by removing the wood grain and then painting it. Just wondering if anyone has done this before and how difficult it would be. The stock wood grain is starting to crack and peel off in some places and I think it would look nice just painted. I’ve seen Rockwood panel and they look really nice.

I’d be inclined to start with new or replacement panels and have them professionally painted.
Quite a bit of work to use worn panels to begin with. -
Just seen the Rockwood page . . . Me want NOW!

Thanks guys. I was just wondering how hard it would be to do. And yes the Rockwood dashes are beautiful

I’ve got a t660 in the fleet with an entire Rockwood dash and door kit and if I remember right it wasn’t that expensive. It’s a 2013 and now looks like a luxury car. I’ll try to get pictures soon. I would add it to my W900L but they don’t make it for my model year.

I took the panels out and removed the wood grain. They use some nasty sticky glue that was a huge pain to get all the residue off. Had someone cover the panels in vinyl. Some of the gauges are a little bit loose without the thickness of the wood grain panel -
Paint would maybe be better but a little more time and work. There's just a few tiny places like around the dash vents the vinyl didn't wrap around very good and it's peeled just a little

That looks really nice Lester. Was it a pain to label everything?
