Painted My Dash

[Denno]

yeah.. and dont forget wax and grease remover to clean it

No need for the wax and grease remover, I have already sanded my dash back lol.

lol.. what did you do that for?

Then the paint would intertwine and grab onto the plastic surface and not just be sitting on top being a layer that would be more prone to scratching...?

fair enough but that's why you use the primer and clear coat

I did it bcuz from reading in here (JC Forums), it's the standard thing to do...

hey sorry to ask another question, but do you think I still need the plastic primer if I have sanded back my dash? I'm planning on buying the paint tomorrow, so I just wanted to check, hopefully I won't need to buy it but it's no big deal if I do have to.

Thanks

The plastic primer helps the paint adhere to the plastic .If you don't use it the paint will peel off in strips
