I want to paint my dash since Redz posted pics of his and it looked nice. Well I searched through that thread and others regarding dash painting. My question is, what colors reflect the most? I know light colors do, but say if I painted my whole dash black and clear coated it, would it still reflect? Any comments would be greatly appreciated. I signed up a while ago but don't post often because I have no idea how to do any mechanical, just interior stuff. Thanks guys.

you might get a LITTLE reflection if the sun is reflecting just right off of the dash.. but how often does that happen? You are more likely to get it right in the eyes than on the underside of the windsheild
