Shitty Series 1 R34 Interior Plastic Paint

[PR34CH]

some people like the matt black but i prefer the glossy look so yeh.. you can put clear or not i guess

[Silver_R34_GT-T]

im sorry, but both those pics make the black glossy dash look really shit, thats my opinion ofcourse, and im sure it looks better in person.

[PR34CH]

the flash makes it look moRe gloss than it actually is

awell

[Wacky Dee]

yeah I was gonna say the same ..camera flash brings out all the little imperfections and pretty much any interior no matter the colour looks shit with a flash, but still I'd done clear over black and didn't like it myself so re-did it.

Hopefully getting my car back today so I'll take a couple of shots of my handy work

I'm doing mine at the moment.

The paint color of bang on, and most of the dash comes apart without too much trouble.

I haven't gotten to the climate control yet, as this will be a bit more difficult.

That will be for session number two!

Taking the paint off was quite easy, but for anyone about to try this, get multiple scourers. Whatever paint comes off the plastic is simply transferred to the scourers, doesn't really dissolve as such.

[Bass Junky]

So to get the temp dial out, do you just pull it off?

I'm having trouble getting the air con bits apart, and I think there must be a screw of something behind there......

[Yo-Yo]

^yes, sinply pull off the temp dial and there will be a final nut to unscrew if my memory serves me correctly

also, I only used one of those sponges with the green scourer on the back and it worked fine

Yep, pull that knob off and will be revealed.

I'm all finsished and reinstalled. Photos tomorrow

^ looking nice mate,

how did you manage to keep the blue & red temp thing around the aircon knob?

[PR34CH]

you take the blue and red things out by cutting off the tabs at the back and pushing it through.. just re-glue them when you put them back in

you'll realise what to do when you take the air-con out

Dammit, I was going to say that I just painted over them and then used nail polish to put the red and blue in.....

But that would give the gaem away

[dori34]

To take off the paing you used a scourer/sponge thingy, and any liquid? metho or anything, or did you just scrub the sht out of it?

[Bass Junky]

I just put a plug in the laundry sink, poured in a few cups of metho, and dropped in the parts.

Coated all pieces in Metho, waiting less than a minute then started to rub, and lo and behold, horrible old paint transferrs from the plastic to the sponge and my hands......

Wear Gloves.

[RusH_]

lol nice, thanks dude

[Yo-Yo]

yeah I used metho, you need just enough to mostly submerge the parts, with the ash tray I only needed to soak the lid. Make sure where you're doing it is well ventilated, or you wear a mask, the metho does get to you
