my charcoal gray color is starting to peel off some of the dash areas and it is black underneath, so i was thinking i may go ahead and just strip the whole interior of the charcoal color and leave it black..

any good ideas or tips on how to strip the charcoal color off the dash?....chemically?

Laquer thinner on a rag and wipe it off...dont let it sit on there too long or it could mar the plastic.

Is there anyway to fix the paint that chips off? Its happening in a few spots on my dash too but i dont want to completely strip it

As most of you guys know.. our dashes are prone to peeling, chipping and flaking. It's really aggravating. I've heard SEM makes a darn near exact match to GM interior... But I'm confused about the color. Sandstone rings a bell... but I'm not sure. 01-02 guys, whaddya think? I think 03+ dashes may be different.

My first attempt is not to respray the entire dash.. I'm going to liquefy some of the paint first and touch up some spots with a q-tip. I only really have a couple chips, but it's enough to be an eyesore.

IS this how the dash looks stripped???

Its more of a flat black when stripped. I stripped mine but then primed and painted it flat black to cover up some imperfections I had from stripping it (need to take your time and I'm impatient, lol). Here's a pic of mine:

Its flat back when stripped, or at least thats how mine was after I sanded some parts
