similar idea on mine - top half is blue bottom half is silver - both custom made colours - same as my respray.

Its been left un laqured - so it looks like its in a matt finish - which means no glare. Iv also had the texture left on the dash - the orange peel - i didnt fancy it smoothed + wld have been more work....

ne way heres some pics of mine

as said by hayley either combo silver bits will look too max power and an unessecary assault on the senses.

I'd do it all arden blue, or arden blue and silver, i think black'll be too harsh.
You idea sounds good, but i think the silver bits will look tacky and it'll be too many colours.

i have got hands on a whole dash and i am thinking of sanding it all down and then going for the bottom half of it in aldren blue and then the top in black but sprayed and then bits like the glove box handle in sliver and the heater nobs in silver as will what do you think or have you any over ideas
