Dan-

as the weather was nice this evening i decided to strip and paint my centre console matt black, i thought i would try something abit different, instead of go for smooth like everyone else i went with crinkled rubberised paint,

Its come out very good has changed the whole interior for me, just need to sort out the heater controls, not going to use the stickers as there to tacky for me, don't like anything unless its perfect, oh and a new headunit!

I much prefer that finish to the gloss and matte alternatives I've seen done before.

Looks more OEM, good job.

What're your plans for the ***** if not stickers?

Looks tidy, would look even better with a flocked dash

Looks good dude. Will be plastidiping mine soon. How did you get the circle vent covers out? Had a quick attempt a while back... Can see it ending in tears tbh.

Thanks Guys! not 100% sure yet on my plan but ive got some things in mind like, making a template out of 1mm thick aluminium, getting my work or another company to lazer/water cut out the heater control diagrams etc then for me to paint it black and clear film over the top to finish it off, we shull see i like a challenge!

Dan-

i saw a flocked dash in a blob rally car yesterday at goodwood it looks so good really want to do mine but wouldn't know where to start and get the stuff from!

they pretty much just pull out takes abit of force, there are 2 clips on each in the middle of each side

you can buy just the dials from japanparts.com
and the red hazard switch

Dan-

Oh really? Ill have a look on there thanks for that, possible save me a bunch of time

I was gonna get my hazard switch from Scooby parts or something, but if that place sells both kills 2 birds

Looks good mate. What's that in the ashtray? Oh and get shot of that Argos head unit it's letting the dash down haha

Gabriele72

It's HKS AFK unit (reading knock and Air/fuel ratio) but is not there anymore. Recently i removed DEFI and AFK and installed a RGCARTRONIK display.

Stupid question maybe but how easy is this paint to use? Does it run easily? Would be worried about doing bodge job! Any tips?

marshall332bhp

That looks like a surfisticated piece of kit!

marshall332bhp

Very very easy job to do. Remove the parts. Give them a light rub with a grey scotch pad degrease them with some pre clean/ spirit wipe and apply nice even light coats of matt black aerosol paint. 3 coats maybe no need for a plastic primer because its already coated just needs a key with a scotchbrite

Gabriele72

Absolutely not, it's very easy to use and gives a lot of information while running.

marshall332bhp

That's what I ment haha. It is a good piece of technology
