ddcboyle Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Looking at spraying my centre console, but only thing im unsure about is if it will crack. The centre console when removed is quite flexible. And trying to fix it back into place with the stereo wobbling it around, will it crack the paint? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK Kustoms Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 It shouldn't crack, but if you want to be safe then use plastic primer as this (I find) is a bit more flexible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddcboyle Posted July 10, 2013 Author Share Posted July 10, 2013 Ill go halfrauds and get some paint. It was meant to be green originally... but I feel like im copyimg that old man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodgeevans Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Be wary bright colours will reflect in the windscreen quite alot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Buster Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Buster did mine in plasticoat - no cracks but like rodgeevans says it does refect on the windscreen in the sunlight! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddcboyle Posted July 10, 2013 Author Share Posted July 10, 2013 Hmm. Ive recognised the console showing on windscreen when its dark. If it was black, would it still show up as much as green? Atm the matt black is fine for driving, just dont want my green being a blind spot Keyser, does it effect you much at night Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spursmaddave Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Yeah even my RSW reflected a lot at the top, maybe plasti-dip matt would be better? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veilside z Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 yes as said its safe to use plasticiser first before your chosen colour. pics when done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
