Dashboard DIY painting like "Techno Blue" color.
Hello! I'm new in this forum
I purchased my first NB (year 2000) some days ago, the interiors are awful, no, are terrible! But the machine was in pretty good condition so I bought it for a very good price (2,000 usd aprox) here in mexico that's cheap for a NB!
.
This is what I'm talking about:
I sent it to the mechanics to do all services, but before, I disassembled the dashboard to take off the "soft cover" that had thousands of scratches (don't we all hate that softie-trash?) and paint it, but I think I got the wrong color... I wanted the color to be as close as possible to the color of my car (Techno Blue), I bought dupli color because that's what auto-zone ppl told me was the best... the color in the cap was perfect but this is what I got:
I want to paint it again with another brand, but I wanted some opinions, this dupli color looks like black. Any sugestions? I'm going to buy one can of Rust Oleum Gloss Brilliant Blue tomorrow because I can get it at Home Depot, anyone tried this before on dashboards? how about the color accuracy?
Thank you very much and sorry for the large post!
