linxus40 Posted November 2, 2004 Share Posted November 2, 2004 before you spary get some fine grade sand papaer and give the whole lot a going over. otherwise the paint wont stick and will bubble. not a good look.

wrxhoon Posted November 2, 2004 Share Posted November 2, 2004 anyone ever done it? the whole lot? if so any tips etc would be greatthanks If you know how to paint ( you don't have to be an expert , as long as you painted before ) its very easy . Take the dash out sand it with 600 or 800 then use grease + wax remover to clean it ( make sure there is no armarol residue left on it at all ) . Go to auto paint shop and get plastic primer ( its clear stuff ) spay 2 coats on ( let it flash dry between coats ) then in about an hour spray the finishing coats ( any colour you want ) . acrylic paint works best on platics . Some people don't use plastic primer and it peels off after a while . Don't try to paint it if you never used a spray gun before , you will stuff it up .

lazza Posted November 2, 2004 Share Posted November 2, 2004 If you are talking about the plastic that surrounds the stereo / a/c controls etc, and gear stick make sure you scrape / peel all the rubber coating off first, then sand and paint as wrxhoon described. If you dont get the rubber film off it then it crinkles up when paint hits it and looks pretty ordinary.
