mark 1 dash
i started off hating the mark 1 dash then i saw the mark 2 and now the mark 1 is my favourite im gunna spray mine dark grey.
This is my mates dash.. Its been covered in grey carpet and redone to match the rest of the dash with tv's etc.
Personal opinion is the mark 2 dash's look nicer especially black (gsi) ones.
iT'S jUST THE GREY I DON'T LIKE!!
It looks really dated, and i've put matching black and red seat covers on which looks suprisingly good ! and so if the dash and door cards were black it would look mint! Although saying that, i brought this cockpit shine stuff from halfords and that does make it look well shiny.... which improves it!
Anyway, anyone no were an idiots guide to taking as MK1 SR dash off is??
can i also have an idiots guide to taking mk2 dash off, when u say dash, do u mean the bit just around the speedo and stuff or the whole dash that goes right across, i see 2 screws on each side of the dash when u open the doors. Whats the best way to change the colour of the door cards? Prob black maybe?
Neil AKA 'idiot'
As for using that stuff on yer dash to make it "shiney" in my opinion BAD MISTAKE! Its silicone based which means that if you were serious about changing the colour of yer dash (aka spraying it black), paint HATES silicone - one of the most hated chemicals ther is in the paint spraying industry. If creates a barrier that paint cant stick to - effectively known as "fish eyes" for v small particles - on a big scale known as a mess.
you'need to purchase some anti silicone degreaser (or good quality thinners) - test the dash i a small area to make sure it doesnt react with the plastic (some thinners melts plastic like celly thinners). You can get anti silicone degreaser from car paint suppliers.
Black sounds good on door cards and dash. All ya need now is a lik of green for the rasta nova!
:D
