Cal Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 As above, any interior bits you've had painted... post pics (please) I'm thinking of doing my whole centre console right up to the drinks holder gloss black, anyone done similar? How do you prep the textured plastic for a smooth finish? Cheers, Cal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cragus Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 Can't wait to see that Jed - looks much better than the original colour choice! Paul had some bits painted on the interior - looked great: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cal Posted April 14, 2011 Author Share Posted April 14, 2011 Thanks all for the responses with pics What Paul has achieved - the whole centre strip through the car... that's what I want, but gloss black. How the fook do you prep that? It's all pretty textured, especially from the gear stick and back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How the fook do you prep that? It's all pretty textured, especially from the gear stick and back i'm hoping to be able to wrap the dash in any colour people want. got some new stuff to try out, have a customer lined up and hopefully be able to post results next week.

Cal Posted April 14, 2011 Author Share Posted April 14, 2011 Wet dry and then high build primer? I'm not a painter, but like to dabble! RT; would that mean you applying said elbow grease first? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RT; would that mean you applying said elbow grease first? as far as i'm aware, no elbow grease need apply, the vinyl is thick enough to cover the dimples with out leaving a mark. the ones i have to test on havebeen chewed up by their owner with a dremmel to the point where painting isa not an easy resurection . so hoping the vinyl will do the job. it should be the same as the DI-noc stuff the others hlike BM have used on their dash and as far as i'm aware they didn't rub them down first.

No need to do any prep with Di-Noc or similar, just make sure the surfaces are nice and clean and it covers up any texture underneath nicely Added bonus of going back to stock if required Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cal Posted April 15, 2011 Author Share Posted April 15, 2011 This stuff comes highly reccommended for plastics... no sanding or primer! http://www.krylon.com/products/fusion_for_plastic/ From what I've read otherwise you would need to flat back, fully clean and degreasse, adhesion promoter, plastic prime, plastic filler prime, paint, lacquer!

Dblock Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 If you sprayed it in straight you would still have an orange peel effect and as it's black you might need loads of coats before you get a good finish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cal Posted April 15, 2011 Author Share Posted April 15, 2011 I realise the texture would be kept unless you sanded/filled it, but the Krylon takes a lot of the hassle off painting the actual plastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, i suppose if you screw it up or dont like it you could flat it back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
