Let me know what you guys think of my dash thanks in an advanced
















Ok here is how i did my dash trim:

01. sand down the trim with 1000 grit sandpaper make sure you take off the SS symbol to reinstall it all you have to use is superglue
02. use Rustoleum spray adhesive primer for plastics (let dry over night)
03. sand down the primer with 360 grit sand paper make sure you wipe down all sanding dust off of plastic before you paint
04. for my car i used Krylon rust tough yellow enamel paint
05. spray 1 light coat wait 10 min spray another coat wait 10 then spray one last final medium coat dont over spray it you will get runs in the paint
06. wait roughly 3 hours in 70 degree weather before applying cleat coat
07. i then used duplicolor clear coat which i used the same steps for the paint in line number (5) let set over night at leat 12 hrs depending on temp.
08. then i used maguiars rubbing compound on it to make the clear smoth
09. then i used Turtle liquid wax glass finish on it waxed it 2 times
10. then reinstall all parts being carefull you dont scratch it while installing them

Any question feel free to ask

 

looks good... but your SS is on upside down.

 

I like it and want to do that to my car.

Possibly a how to on how you did yours?

 

Yeah i know did it on purpose

 

Bee, which method did you use? did you sand it all down or just use the silver undercoat as the primer? Looks great... LOVE the yellow

 

well then, +1 point for me, for being observant.

 

Yup i already gave you one for being the first to notice

 

looks great....keep up the good work

 

hey man looks great, im in the process now of doing my trim, its sitting on the porch drying lol i gotta clear coat it, i used the krylon fusion for plastic paint im gonna clear coat it and run some wax over it, that trim is a bitch to get off lol did u paint the back side or just the visible sides cuz its got the car part on the back just incase u need to order another.

 

Well i did not paint the back of mine cause of that and because it messes up the clips for the parts that have to go back on there like the center piece the black thing and the fog light switch it would make it really soft or really hard but no i did not did not see no point in it

 

i would turn the SS right side up...but other than that it looks great man

 

Thanks but i like it like that

 

As always, I say, never paint the trim piece between the radio and A/C controls.

OH! What is the part number? I could possiby use that.

 

Looks good except I dont like how the centerpeice between the radio an HVAC controls is painted.

When I painted mine, I masked that part off

 

Yeah i thought so also but i did it anyways dont look that bad though

BUMP for some more comments

 

i would find a way to paint the silver as well, it would look better imo

 

I would of but i dont know if they make the stickers for the ac controls

 

as long as u dont plan on getting rid of it only you should need to know what the controls are just study them and then paint it lol

 

Um dont know about that lol i will think about it but i probably wont i like it the way it is

 

Bump

 

when i did mine i painted it... i think it looks better that way... it's all personal preference though...


i think it came out good... the yellow is a lil bright for my liking, but i guess it's not for yours, so came out nice.

 

i think it would be cool to paint the hvac control area and then have it taken to an airbrush place to airbrush custom control logos in the right spots. my silver is fading there and i will end up doing this eventually.

 

It actually the same color as my seat inserts is it just looks bright on the pics but matches the inside yellow awsome

 

Looks good except the radio and temp controls really need to be black that would look great.

 

very nice. keep up tha good work
