I' talking about spraying the whole thing pad,cover and all.Of course I would remove it first.Line-x says if I remove it and leave it with them they could spray it when they have a bed or something big to do and would only charge me $50 for the dash pad and $50 for my 4 door panels to spray black with uv inhibitor.The repro covers alone are $100 and god knows what a set of 4 new door panels would cost!Plus its non-skid so I can put stuff on it without it slidin' off.Whada ya think?Any drawbacks I'm not thinkin' of?
