View Full Version : GSi dash - sod that spray it!
Literally my whole dash :lol:
Looks good i reckon, few imperfectities but on the whole its pretty good...
Did a load more interior bits the other day, so the whole interior is gonna have quite a black feel, with my black leather as well! 8O

looks good what did you spray it with
normal paint or the proper plastic stuff , and did you prep it
looks like it needs another coat and as riggy said what did you use ??
All Purpose Spray Paint, yeah prepped it too :wink:
Did the scratch test like chucking keys on the dash, and it didnt scratch off :lol:
At least it cost a fiver not fifty quid to do tho :D
looks good, another coat possibly???? looks a bit grey in areas....

only problems i had ages when i sprayed some of my interior was after a while it started to come off
looks good - however word of warning...the mk2 dash it a vynal sponge backed material glued to a hardboard shell (as you know) - if you use standard spraypaint it will grack after a time.
Sounds like the scratch test held up but check a spongey area too...unless it was a spongey area you did - in which case nice one!
With vynal you really need to stain it - or use a flexible acrylic based paint. You can get a suitable dye from most motor shops...

I did this with my dash - bought the stuff from halfords - flexible vinyl paint, its about a tenner per can but one should be enough - they do a few colours too, good stuff
