i did paint it myself.,depends on how you want it painted,prolly around 600 or so, probably less.depending on what kinda paint and how much work you want done,etc.. i got the dash in,fun stuff. i wires up the gauges,the tach jumps around alil bit,i got alot more to do stil.i jstu bought the book for the new camaro and cross refernced the wires and crap,it isnt that hard,but not that easy,lol,takes alot of putting ina nd taking out and cutting and lotsa small crap.

my tach junps around too after I did my 4th gen dash swap. it will only work smooth if I use the MSD box. Im not using it now since it cuts out after a few minutes but anyway. fuel gauge wire shoul dbe the same color on both sides of the harness. i think it was purple IIRC.

IMO, the old dash looked a lot better. Still a hell of a nice car. Then again im not a big fan of the fourth gens.

Ok, im not sure weither to be disapointed or not, cause no one rembers me! No, im just playing. I installed a 1995 v-6 auto tranny dash into my 1992 camaro. If you have a cable speedo, you need the VSS conversion box by dakota digital. If you have the electronic version, you will NOT need the box. I posted acouple times on what all the wires go to. Here is the link

This should be all your looking for. Anything else you need, just ask. Thank me later
