2 cans of flat black spray paint were all i needed to do the dash trim and all 4 door pockets. IMO it makes the sedan look how it should of from the factory. i still have to paint the dials though. i want paint them a different color but just haven't figued out what yet.

im sorry for the crappy cell phone pics. i really need to invest into a camera

i like the pics i saw of the people that painted the dash kit, and the plastic around the guage cluster. *they did all parts gloss black* looked cool, and pics are somewhere on here but forget who did it

Norkotik · 12-07-2008, 04:09 AM

Thomas, any way you can source one of those clusters out for me

sorry for the noob question.

-Just curious, why do we need to sand the panel with sand paper?
wouldn't it scratch the panel??

- what do you mean by "did about 6 layers"?
Does that mean you spray the panel 6 times?

and last question:
- What's the best distance for spraying the panel so that the result is smooth like yours?

TinyGiant · 12-09-2008, 10:19 AM

sanding gives the paint a slightly rough surface for the paint to grab on to. 300 grit sandpaper feels almost smooth.. it barely sands it .. but it gives it a rough surface for the paint to stick to. I would also recommend using an adhesion promoter as well .. which will help the paint stick

6 layers or 6 coats is nice.. that means you paint it (probably at a distance of 1 foot to 1.5 ft) you let it dry and do it again 5 more times..

I did two coats of adhesion promoter, and 4 coats of the paint. At some point i'll probably go ahead and do a coat of clear gloss to make it a little more shiny

TinyGiant · 12-09-2008, 10:20 AM

just take your time doing it ..

doing 6 coats means that the first coat can be really light .. then the next coat can be light so the end result is prefect
