Hi Guys,

As some of you may recall, my car was violated a little while ago. Stereo stolen, dash busted up etc....

Well, anyway, I decided to get my dash resprayed to remove all the blemishes, but I wanted somebody who knew what they were doing to spray it.

I employeed my sister's friend, as he ran some backyard job, and was going to do it for me for free. But since handing him the dash over a month ago, I have not heard from him since. Phone calls and sms's all ignored.....

I have however seen my dash, by looking through his garage window, and can see that no work has taken place, despite his bs, in saying it's done etc etc....

So I'm thinkin of confronting him, and simply getting my sh|t back. That however, still leaves me with a sanded dash, which is no good to me. I have the paint, (2pak stuff, thinners and hardeners), just don't have the equipment to apply it.

If I do manage to get my stuff back, can somebody help me paint it??? It's been an absolute nightmare for me of late, and need somebody I can rely on, to put all this behind me.

Can anybody please help?

Thanks to all how reply.

Cheers!

you can paint the dash using the 2pac and thinners.. you can buy small spray cans which you mix the thinners and 2pac and use that to spray. Its like a pov compressor setup but it comes up nicely.. King Ricer.. er sorry dj_l3thal used this method for his dash.

Hahah,

Yeah, my baby is all naked right now..... wires stewn everywhere...... there's no air vent, just one gaping hole in the middle of the dash.....

No stereo bracket, so my factory tape deck is just sitting there. My discman, lying on top, so that at least i have some tunes. *sigh*

Yeah, in hindsight should have paid somebody to do it. The guy claims it should be ready by tomorrow. Oh course it won't be, but I'll see him then.....

But if it's not ready, then ylwgtr2, I'll be sure to give you a call/pm. Thank you for your help btw.

But as for Nath's job, yeah looked good, if I don't get anywhere then the pov compressor will have to do. But yeah, thanks again guys.

      Rust repairs completed, doors back on! pretty much totally back together running now. All future repairs will be fiddly wiring getting everything back up to road condition.  hasn’t  taken that long considering the condition I got the sub. note my helpers keeping the back seat warm 😂
