-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? |

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.

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

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

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
