Once you get put it back in and everything just make sure you always use a sun dash cover. If you don't it probably won't last as long because UV rays cause paints to break down after a while. Since my dash is black, sometimes when I forget to put the sun cover up when I get in the car and feel the dash, it's so hot I could almost fry an egg on it, lol.

I don't know much about the weather you have in TN, but in Wisconsin it's not that bad. But I do use one of those windshield sun blockers.

looks really good, looks like your taking the right precautions and using good taste, unlike many people out there that just want to paint something no matter what because they can.

The thing is though, the vinyl dye takes 72 hours to dry etc. This is my daily driver and I can't drive with the fumes and such. Plus, I was worried that the dye would not work properly in a 100+ degree during the day.
Is that why your cluster is ghetto rigged into place? lol. I can't wait to see it back together.

Yeah those sunblockers were what I was talking about. I'm from Minnesota originally so I know it still gets pretty hot up there in the summer. But yeah 40% of the year the sun is like scortching.

Danomatic, I think that "pink dash" title has drawn a lot of attention to this thread, lol.
