Painting Dash... Too tired to search...

[PaRaDoX]

i hate painted dashes to be honost, apart from your center console vn2nv.. you rarely see one well done and they usually look botch, thats why i havnt painted mine but yeah you need plastic primer, paint and clear coat to do it properly, or gloss paint (has clear coat mixed in with it)

if you're gonna use vinyl dye, DONT stick plastic primer on it, otherwise it wont soak in.

you can use a white vinyl dye as a base to light vinyl dyes tho i think. but dont use a paint that isnt a dye as a base coat unless topcoat is the same

Arrr I started and I used a plastic primer... It seems ok though????

Im using VHT Vinyl Die Jet Black Gloss and the same blue I originally got for the centre console... however its not coming out the same on the dash parts as the centre console did. Perhaps the fibgreglass helped the finish.

yea sounds like the case but give it a few extra sprays , also make sure u give it a clear coat cause it chips easily in some places ,

Problem is I dont have enough blue to give it alot of sprays. I went to autobarn, Repco, Motoquipe and Supercheap and only one place had my blue in stock, and they only had 1 can of it... Im down to the A/C vents now and scratching to have enough. The blacks fine cause theres heaps of it at repco and stuff.
