1998 vvc project

right my car is still at the sprayers and not due back till feb so i thought ill give the dash bits a paint.thay had a snake skin effect on them that was all crack so heres my how to.
first i give them a good sand with 240 wet & dry


then i give them i good clean with a damp cloth
i use a hair dryer to dry them (you my need permision)
use the hair dryer to get them warm ready for primer


i used this plastic primer from b&q really good stuff a lite coat first


give them 3 coats use the hair dryer between coats. after i put them in the airing cupboard over night


next i use a inbetween coat pad to give them a lite sand all over


now thay are ready for top coat .use the dryer again to warm the plastic
just dust them over for the coat


leave for 5 mins now give them fall coat leave for 5 mins still use the dryer now give them a good wet coat

As others have said - great 'How to' with fantastic results!

Also, as Bryan pointed out, you have already stepped towards the Dark Side with the bits of bling you've bought! It is very easy to stray...!

Love the red interior. Penelope Mk1 had red interior and I miss it

Woo hoo car has been painted getting it picked up tomorrow so will put some picks up can't wait to put me new bits that iv been collecting over the last 6 mouths
