Looking good Korizin
Sanding is only if the surface isn't as smooth as you like. the paint should melt the layer below and bond with it.
you won't need to prime again if you already have paint on there. just make sure its really dry so that the paint you put on top has a solid surface to sit on.
Yo Stuart, the dash came from a car in a scrappy. it's pretty easy, just keep undoing bolts til it comes out lol, but i have taken the one in my car out and it takes alittle longer because i didn't want to break the car so:
15 min if its a car in the scrappy
2 hours if its your own car.
you need to take out:
steering wheel (not ness but makes it sooo much easier)
gauge cluster
centre console
glove box
gear lever surround
little compartment at the bottom of the dash
a pillers
so a big job hence why i got one from a scrappy cos i wouldn't be able to drive my car
only £30 so not bad...
Your car is a slightly different colour i belive, its alittle bit more purple.
my paint code is APO
i got it mixed up at halfords for £10 every 300ml can of spray. i've been through about four cans so if anyone knows where i can get cheaper paint in a can not an air brush i'd like to know
check the pannel under the bonnet that gives the paint code. mine was APO-K but they only wanted the APO bit
it's almost exactly the same colour as my car and it looks really weird, i did a test with one of the a pillers and the body work comes in through the window to join up with the piller looks soo cool
Yo Korizin
go to Helfrauds to get paint but check that the can they are about to fill up has a mixing ball in it because i have had two that haven't and they blew up on me!!! but luckily nothing was ruined and they replaced the paint even though i'd already used it all lol
Lift up the bonnet and look at the vin plate its just behind the brake res it will have your exact colour. if it's the same as mine it will be APO which is called Cinnibar Red.
