Dude not a kit thats just painted.

[darkmoon87]

imho it gives even more of that cheap plastic look unless you paint the door panel and etc with the matching color.

I'd only go with cf scheme for those dash-kit or similar ones

Maybe it's my taste...lol

Steps:

1.Lightly sand with a 0000 steel wool or a really fine sand paper
2. Dust off
3. Two Coats of Adhesion Promoter
4. Coat of Primer
5. Two- Three Coats of the Top Coat (the final Color you want it)



what i did for mine .. was sand, adhesion promoter , a coat of metalic Silver, a coat of Florescent green and then dust from like 2ft away the silver again to add the metal flake look to the green .. while the green paint is still wet.. I did it immediately after i painted with green .. to help the metal flake adhere better to the green :)

^^^^ Flat black looks the best IMO. What kind of paint did you use?

Thanks, i thought it was more subtle and blended better and didn't look so flashy.

[Sodium Duck]

What did you do for prep?

[id3379]

i sanded it with 320grit sand paper then wash'd it off and dryed it. Then just did about 6 layers of flat black

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.

[smofskra]

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

[Pitt Yaris]

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]

can you demonstrate how to take all the dash apart i wanna do that to my car

[Prohibit]

Every piece in my car that is grey is being painted the black with blue flames like the outside of it. Will post pics as soon as I get them :)

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

i sanded it with 320grit sand paper then wash'd it off and dryed it. Then just did about 6 layers of flat black

sorry for the noob question.

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


- 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]

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]

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

Hey Tiny.. you are the man... :thumbup::thumbup:

thanks for the advice
