hey nice work guys.

i need some help please, ive got both door trims off and ive done the centre already but i dont know how to get the switch piece out of the passenger door trim. does the handle have to come off the trim alltogether? do i have to break anything?

[Wacky Dee]

there are a few screws there..just have a better look mate, the switch will pop out when you take out all the screws. If you have the passenger side trim off the door already, check from underneath ..there are a couple of screws there holding the switch and the plastic surround in place.

Good choice I've used powerplus tungsten too, looks tops I've done my doors too and just have to do the speedo bezel (took one out of a R34 gtr dash) now as it's slightly different colour (grey/silverish)

Can anyone recommend a cheap trimmer in Sydney ? I want to change my carpets (the moulded carpet not the mats) to black ones as I'm getting creme seat covers installed soon.

Hmm the tungsten looks good it's got a very slight gold-tone, in fact looks like the colour I need for another project at home.

Did you clear coat it after your sprayed.. going to attempt this next weekend love the colour, just like the GTR minus the brushed steel look

[Rav3nNZ]

cool thanks ive managed to get it out now. got all the screws before, was just afraid of breaking it when pulling it out

im doing my centre and doors in powerplus kashmir pearl.

looks really nice. its a silvery gold will try and post pics tomorrow when im done

[Wacky Dee]

Do NOT clear coat it .. looks like ass IMHO. Just do 3-4 coats of the colour you want and do very light coats each time and allow 10-20 mins drying time inbetween if using the powerplus paints and then let it all dry overnight after final coat.

Dan that's exactly what it looks like .. silver/grey with a tiny bit of gold in it. I experimented with 2 different colours before it (matt black and silver) and they looked nowhere as nice.

Where can you get the thin sticky felt from to replace the old stuff?

There is some very small creaking from plastic to plastic contact ........

Has anyone found the same exact stuff it is is a matter of adapting something else?

[Wacky Dee]

mine came off completely with the paint due to the metho and I haven't noticed any creaking .. I suppose you could just improvise, buy some material, cut it into stripes and glue it on. I doubt you'd find a direct replacement anywhere ie. same width etc.

[Rav3nNZ]

ok these pics are total shite. its dark and im in my garage cos its pissing outside.

ok this color isnt anything close to being white. its a real nice silver\gold and is almost identical color to the gear buttons on the steering wheel.

will get some better pics when its sunny so you can see the color better.

oh and heres what i used - powerplus Kashmir Pearl

Hey Delta Force, you have redone your interior trim a few times you said, i have done mine all in Tungsten as well, love the color on it, but i want to re-spray the vents above the ac controls because i think that turned out a little shitty (uneven spray), how did you go about re-spraying it? sand paper? if so what grit etc...?

cheers

[Sammy34]

Did mine quite awhile ago, unfortunetly I have the premium addition setup so there are a few gaps here and there... but here it is, was done in almost a silver blue colour for something a bit different.

Not a great photo but you get the idea. Just need to get the standard AC controls and surround and repeat the process and it will look alot cleaner.

Just remove the part, dump into metho and take off paint with scourer and start from scratch for the best results IMO ... spray lightly but do 3 coats and she'll be right

ah so the metho will get rid of the paint, i thought it might have only worked on the shitty standard stuff, will have to give it a go.

cheers bud
