Spraying Dash

[AndrewOW]

Or even storm grey:d:d...looking nice Andrew:)

 

 

Cheeky! I quoted it straight from SupraForums, so I was aware of the 'wrong' spelling, but its not possible to educate everyone

 

Thanks for the compliment. It really is a great colour, if its possible to get in a can.

whats flocking.??? still stuck on a decent gunmetal colour. im gonna start painting the surrounds on monday.

 

what grit rating do i need?

[supra_si]

anyone able to help with what sand paper i need for the dash

[supra_si]

just been to halfords and got the paint. im going to try skoda blackmagic after my last car. always had a nice colour to it. starting with the ash tray to get a feel of painting it before doing the rest.

Do a search on google for flocking, its what they have on rally cars does look really nice. Sprayed in a nice suttle colour will look good too though. start off with a course paper and finish it off with 1200 but make sure you spend a long long time sanding it down until it is perfectly smooth so you cant see any marks on at all. Clean it all down with soapy water let it dry and prime it all, keep sanding the primer down with 1200 untill it is a smooth as glass after a few coats spray away. It will come out amazing if all the prep work is done properly. Is the paint metalic?

[supra_si]

its a black pearlescent colour

[dannysupratt]

well if it needs lacqer you will have to sand down the paint too with 1200 before lacqering

Blue looks awful. Andrew which garage did you use?

[supra_si]

yeh i thought i would have to sand the paint down before laquering. have just applied the first coat of black. leaving over night. not sure whether to wet and dry it down before anotther coat of just apply another one in the morning.

I had it done at Alan Crompton's body shop in Hammonds Drive. Just off Lottbridge Drove. I think they did a great job, and it looks identical to that 'Storm Gray' as mentioned earlier (bluey/grey metallic).

piano black is imo the only alternative to stock

I stripped all the original crap coating off, primed em, and painted them a nice smooth black and they look great.

[supra_si]

how many coats did it take to get it right?

[supra_si]

so far ive done the ash try and first main layer of gear surround,

 

oh and found a massive heap of cig ash underneath. so much for a non smoker
