Won't the white paint reflect on the windscreen, making it a pain to see out properly?
I know I can't drive with any bits of paper, magazines or anything shiny on the dashboard due to the reflection it gives on the windscreen!

Looks good, matt white wouldnt cause it to reflect that much.

Its not the texture or finish of the dash, in sunlight all you will see is the dash reflecting.. I had problem with my red interior..all i could see was my red dash.. But you get used to it. Lol

If you find it does reflect, I'd get it flocked instead, as that definately won't reflect. Like this, but done white if that's the colour you want
