Anyone else have faded silver outline on their old dash?

I found a cool way you may or may not have heard of to re-silver the dash outlines; and it's as simple as using a silver sharpie to retrace the silver lines. It's pretty permanent and easily touched up if need be. Any stray marks can be "erased" with denatured alcohol without eating the dash plastic. See my "new" dash below. Just thought I'd contribute...

Thanks for posting, my dash is pretty tired looking. What is "denatured alcohol"?

 

A little clean up and a $1.99 sharpie from staples you'll be back in business!

deNatured Alcohol is the kind you don't drink because some jerk decided to take the fun out of a potentially fun cleaning product by doing some crazy chemical reaction thus poisoning the well. I suppose you could use Everclear if you wanted a consumable alcohol cleaner.

 

Can purchase denatured alcohol at many grocery and drug stores.

 

I found a sharpie to be not very permenent. A silver paint marker would work better.

 

I've used the paint marker too, it's a good match.

 

I know what doing tomorrow. Thanks for shareing

 

A paint marker in the color "Aluminum" works really well for me.

 

Hey love the interior it looks really good.
What head unit are you running. It looks like a touch screen.

 

Okay I meant to ask how did you mount it?

 

thanks for the compliment! I've worked mega hard to get my interior back up to a liveable condition without touching the bank. I'm a bit ****-retentive and like things looking neat/clean.

Anyway, I originally thought you were being funny. The screen you see below is for the reverse camera. I lost my 4x4 a few months ago when I had to swap rear axl's (different gearing) so I pulled the transfer case lever and built my own center console out of red-oak veneered plywood then mounted it on the transmission hump. I mounted the display in the "console" with the mount it came with. Wish I had a "better" answer for ya but my console is totally custom as is the rest of the truck
