Looks very nice. Did you remove you speedo and tacho from the dash before painting? Or just tape them up??

If i recall there was only a few colours -black,dark blue,silver and maybe red then just clear.
I'm taking a run down there now so will have another look although my bunny's not the main one.

Ha yeah!! nice one.The young bloke has to be out with daddy when the tools are out.
Bunny's have a decent range of colours too for dash stuff like the silver and gold and black but also yellow blue red and white.

Thanks for the thumbs up anyway guys.

What's the actual paint called mate? Is it that 'revolution' gear in the back of third photo??

Yeah fair enuff winnie.Will look good if you can change the guage faces i reckon to a darker colour.I would like to have black ones.
This will be a work in progress.Still got some ideas for the rest of the dash.

Looks real nice mate...did you have to prep the plastic ? give it a rub down or just hit it with some alcohol type cleaner to get the crit and s...t off and whats the name the paint is under ??..........nice job

Bit of a grave dig, but I guess that is what all my research is leading me too :P

Looks great mate, but as per the above question, did you have to do much in the way or prepping? Also did you apply a clear coat over the top? Hows it looking 1.5 years on? :)

I reckon this looks pretty neat. I'm tempted to do my centre console but i think I'll give the dash a miss.......for now any ways!

That's superb pj. Been contemplating doing all my rocket scientist stuffed plastics, think door pulls, vent surrounds and centre console. Like some others I'm keen to know how you prepped it all.
