jamesmark Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 RobSheffield has it in his car, not the best pic. I have seen it in the flesh and it is very nice, as long as it is done correctly. http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/vbpicgallery.php?do=big&p=6755 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest CoolsBlue Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 looks good, and saves me having to buy new ones to get the mint look:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesmark Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 Remember you will need to strip the dash panels before any attempt is made in painting them, Do a search there are loads of threads with hints and tips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr keef Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 if you spray it satin black and then clear coat it you'll end up with shiny black Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eve Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 Is that what Rob did as his looks shiny in the pic?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff R Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 Halfords do a black spray by Foliatec called soft touch, it looks very much like the original finish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewOW Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 Satin black and a matt lacquer would look really nice. I was tempted before I got mine done in a colour coded shade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nic Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 I've found meths or white spirit is the best thing to use to soften the rubber coating so it can be scraped off. It takes quite a few hours to do all 7 panels. Alternatively if you would like prices for new dash panel set, just let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guru Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 Matte black with no laquer all the way! http://guru-designs.co.uk/images/dash.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr keef Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 nail varnish remover and a scotch pad gets the rubber coating off quickish..i would then put a barrier coat on then prime it;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
