pistonbroke Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 The first part of my dash respray project is underway. I've used a lot of the tips off this site in order to get the job done properly. I found that using bleach, neat on the rubber coating, then leave for five minutes made the stuff just wipe off. I then wet/dry paper 800 to give the surface of the plastic a rough edge for the paint to adhere to. Then used foliatec interior spray primer, them foliatec interior silver. Heres the result.

pistonbroke Posted April 22, 2006 Author Share Posted April 22, 2006 neo, you haven't sprayed the window switch area on the passenger door yet. Are you going to do that in the future or are you leaving it? Also, do them door trim sections come off easily? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoFuture Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 nah im going to leave that its a bit to small to bother with and it keeps all the silver in one place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoFuture Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 the door removal is easy BUT you have to take the whole handle off and the whole door card appart to get it off, bit of a pita but only took me about 3 hours in total start to finish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesmark Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 mines is getting done too, i done the prep work but getting a holographic job done on it by a body shop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 mines is getting done too, i done the prep work but getting a holographic job done on it by a body shop Woo, that sounds a bit tasty. The passenger door switch area is not in plastic, it's in that sort of textured stuff that the rest of the door is lined in. When I did mine I quickly realised that it would be best left, as it matches it's immediate surroundings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 How did you guys find the finish with the foliatec paint? I tried this on my first attempt but couldn't get the finish to be hard enough - It was far to easy to scratch afterwards. Probably I did something wrong but as I have a few tins of this stuff left I might pass it on to forum members if its any good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraStar 3000 Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 mines is getting done too, i done the prep work but getting a holographic job done on it by a body shop Sounds cool! Is that like pearlescent paint? Looking good people. Think I might give this a go myself this summer. Anyone done or seen a gloss black finish.

The foliatec stuff worked fine on mine, after the rubber crap was off, I rubbed the plastic down with 800 grade wet dry paper, then used the foliatec primer, the paint adhered really well as you can see above. Its rock solid as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
