I fail to understand the question here. Do you mean paint the carbon fiber? Or paint the stock dash to look like carbon fiber? I dont understand why you would want to paint the carbon fiber, why not just paint the stcok dash?

Again.. Why paint an aftermarket dash? I mean if you are just going to cover it up with paint why not just cover up the stock dash? And What Kind Of Car Is This Again?

This car has a painted dash and much, perhaps you could ask the owner how it was done:

WFO, I made the 1-2 shift with nary a sound from the 185/65's -the Civic dream was over, the myth put to rest.

I'm not sure about what you are talking about w/ the carbon fiber part, but i think that a painted dash looks good. I have mine painted blue. It's very similar to the car in the link Northof49 sent, except w/ a more glossy finish. If you pm me i can tell you what you need to do, or you could just have a shop do it for you. The shop i talked to said it would cost about $130 if they did it. Hope this helps, Chase
