Exchange dash painting service

http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?p=2357779#post2357779

I'll get moaned at but hey:p

I will soon be offering a exchange dash service. I will have a complete dash, Manual/Auto in primer and ready to be painted.

All you will have to do is tell me what colour(colour code) and send me your dash + payment. After I have received your dash (in good order) +payment I will send your new painted dash out next day recorded. So you will not be without your dash for ages while it gets prepped and painted.

Feel free to PM any questions or suggestions.

The cost should be around £250

Thanks

Only kidding

Good idea Dave:)

£250? To paint the dash? Seems a bit steep to me. I know your work is first class though so good luck with it

No That is to strip it prep it prime it flat it,buy the paint/laquer/primer/paper and polishing stuff. Spray it polish it and send it next day delivered to your door.

I'd say its quite cheap.

Cost me £80 but that wasn't including delivery, bodyshop is 5 mins up the road from me.

complete dash including all dash panels thats cheap

OK. Fair play.

It's a lot of horrible work to do prepping an OEM dash. I wish I had got a bodyshop to do mine. Took hours to scrub the rubber off them.

Ahh, mine is facelift. That might explain it

Do they not have the coating? Dont get me wrong its a cheaper way of doing it but I wouldn't do it myself again and would be happy for Dave to do a propper proffesional job on it, his work is second to none:)

Na, no hassle doing the facelifts. A rub down, some high build primer, flatten, paint, flatten, paint, flatten then lacquer.

Job done

Shocking:(

Although £250 sounds a bit steep I dont want to ever clean the rubber stuff off again so seems worth it.

Just cleaned all mine up to be sprayed for NOWT. by a mate

Can a mod please merge this with the dash thread.

I can't understand why you're asking this particular question.

Why would anyone vote "no" ?

Do you want to know how many would be interested in getting their dashboards painted?

Well Apart from being told its too expensive I thought I'd let the members tell me if I'm wasting my time or not. I don't care if no body has this done as I am busy enough, but thought it would be a good and helpful thing to do. Maybe not:rolleyes:

Dave:)

Threads merged Dave..... I hope they're the right ones as its all a bit confusing

Title changed to something more meaningful too

Thanks!

Wouldnt like do mine again:(

There is a fair bit of work involved if your doing it properly;)

If you want a 1st class finish a proper finish on the pre facelift dash this is the only way to go about it (aside from ordering new ones, which will cost as much and will still be prone to damage).

The prep work involved is incredibly time consuming for this let alone a professional respray with 'proper' paint. Go for it Dave

Do it,

I must add that i think the price is high, however if you want a top notch finish you pay top notch money. After seeing daves finish on the gloss back dash it is indeed awesome.

I'm suprised at eight voting for "Don't give a rats arse".

Can we now make the poll public?

I thought the price was a little high too but I'm sure it's proportionate to the work involved, I can imagine more than a few on here having a go of this and making a right mess of it.
