matmidgley Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 very very easy, just made a spray booth out of a large cardboard box. cleaned it all down and sprayed it. also did my side mirror cases and door switch and speaker surround. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have a spare center vent next week I might give it a bash on to see how it turns out... Plasti dip prob £15 quid a tin and don't go far hydro dip prob about 30/40 quid seen the kits on eBay I'm tempted by one 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I noticed those bits when I was looking at it again tonight...half of me wants to do it, the other half of me doesn't as I want to keep stock look. But I have a few tiny scratches from previous owner that I want to make disappear...and I don't think I could match the OEM colour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

W444AJD Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 @matmidgley good result with the plasti-dip centre console. I am going to give mine a try once the weather gets a bit warmer. Definitely stealing your cardboard box spray booth idea! Have bought gunmetal grey colour. How hard/easy was it to remove the round discs from the airvents? Heard they can be a b**ch...

matmidgley Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 I had them off a few times as I experimented with wrapping first, just have to work out where the clips are and pry them out. use something wider than a screwdriver and plastic otherwise you will mark the dash. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W444AJD Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 I did my centre console at the weekend, used Matt Pack full dip gunmetal grey colour. It's definitely a matt finish, might be good to try some glossifier stuff on it, but anyway quite happy with the results for a first effort!
