Colour coding means as follows

Spraying the bumper, door handles and mirror casing the same colour as the cars body colour

also colour coding the dash means the same spraying the dash the same colour as the interior eg the door handles on the inside and the head lights buttons etc.

hope this helps

colour codings really easy m8
but u have to Know what your doin especially with prep work which is rubbing down and priming
u can colour code dash parts like the vents or u can colour code door handles bumpers (which need prepin alot) the little strip on the boot (grab handle) and wing mirrors

Don't spray parts of the dash, get a black one or leave it std.

P.S. If you need the red knob dial things I got a whole SR dash (excl clocks) if you need em.

ive sprayed seperate parts of mine blue to match the interior and the other parts are sprayed lexus grey anthraicite to contrast the blue

eg ive sprayed glove box blue window switch housing asy tray vents ect

just done it bit at a time

colour coding of bits like the dash can look good if done well and tastefully, although as with everything in modding it is all about opinions and only one really matters; the owner's....

[kittednova]

as im gettin the whole car sprayed black wiv gold flakes in paint,i was thinking of sprayin whole dash completly black,then spraying the glove box,vents,lil other bits red,thnk tha would look gd?

not sure on the red idea mate, what about silver, as black and silver could look amazing!
