Centre console and vent surrounds look good mate. I'm going to mine soon in satin black.

Hi mate - nice looking example - same colour as mine

What prep did you do before spraying the dash bits? Was looking at doing it myself but not sure how to start.

What spray did you use?

Thanks

To Prep it I just washed it, rubbed it down with some 400, 800, then 1200 grit sandpaper cleaned it with some panel wipe and then sprayed a layer of Primer followed by several thin layers of Hycote Matt Black, allowing it to Dry for about 20mins per layer in the airing cupboard..

I recently did the Side Skirts too
