Good effort mate, i think the steering wheel needs changed soon too and your Knob is looking a little Knackered (:eyebrows:).

 

Have a look in the for/sale section or call Jezz at QSD

haha....

 

I was thinking more along the lines of turquoise with pink poker dots? Get some of that aggressive look tamed :innocent:

 

LOL!! PM Nic on here, see what kind of prices he offers for a new set of dash panels? I wouldn't bother painting up the ones on there now, you will be surprised at the difference new panels will make :)

Can you guys tell me how you go about doing this?

 

Do you sand anything down and then apply a primer, then apply a second coat?

 

Also could you tell me what kind of paint you use?

 

What i did to do mine was spend a good few hours sanding it all down. Then i applied 3 coats of primer and after each coat i sanded it down very lightly. Then i applied to coats of metalic silver paint. Followed by 4 coats of lacquour.

 

I used acrylic primer acrylic metalic silver and acrylic lacquor.

It took alot of time and if im totally honest i am going to have to do one panel again.

I found it hard!

Good effort. I'm definately thinking about doing mine at some point. I'm not 100% sure on the blue, but it looks like you've done a decent job of it!

You can use regular car spray paint, but it's worth getting it from a place that can offer you decent nozzles for the cans or get a spray gun.

 

You'll need:

 

Wet and dry sand paper (very fine)

Cleaning solvents

Adhesive promoter (as you are spraying plastic)

Primer

Paint (base coat)

Laquer

 

Good luck! :)
