OV53 Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 Any tips on how to do it nice? I want to do from the 3 gauges to the gearstick in the same colour as the covers and caps under the bonnet, Nissan Arctic White. Cheers guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoogyRev Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 Prepping it will be the key, you will have to sand, fill and prime it very nicely to get a good finish otherwise you will be doing it twicely PM some of the guys that have done theirs already (Madmarky, Keyser) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mopedmark Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 OV53 I have done mine a few weeks ago to a very smooth finish.All depends what finish you want, to get it super smooth you will have to rub it right back and get rid of the stipples if you don't you will have a second rate finish with stipples showing through, my opinion this is amateurish but this is my opinion . Unless you want this finish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easty Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 Iv just done mine in Gun metal grey and I decided to keep the dimples on it, I didn't want it completely smooth as I think it looks $hit and doesn't suit the car but this is just my opinion. . . . That's the good thing about Z's you can personalise them so much to each and every taste :-) I only lightly rubbed it down and then primed and painted it, also iv kept the surrounds around the gauges in the standard silver to brake it up a little bit. . . . They are just glued in and need a little push to get the out. . Really personalises your interior when it's done :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mopedmark Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 Easy option is to leave the stipples,your choice, do it right or do it twice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OV53 Posted August 12, 2013 Author Share Posted August 12, 2013 To be fair the reason I want to respray it is because some of the dimples have been scuffed and scratched so spraying over them will look cack. I was gonna use filler to smooth over them and then rub it flat as I reckon I can get a better finish that way. I think an anthracite finish to match the wheels is gonna be the colour of choice when I get round to it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
