@Oct 22 2004, 13:06 GRexer, really? lasting or not? how many layer?

Hm... i sprayed 2 coats of paint, and 2 coats of clear. Well, quite lasting IMO, until now, for nearly a year already, there's no peeling off, there's some scartches though, maybe have to use the plastic treater to spray first before spraying on the paint.

hahaha....matched to ur gear knob mah.....for me, wooden is for exclusive car....that's old man car....:lol: no offence...:)

take out the wood panel n spray wit normal can spray will do.

TEMPORARY SOLUTIONS:
As for dashboard or any plastic in ur interior, u can try use shoe polish, repeat the polishing for several times n put it under the sun.

 

[ksgoh]

yes, just spray it if u don't like....

alexnek, what solution for that??

300+......if back seats also 500+

this was quoted by the upholstry shop 2 years ago.... ;)

 

[ksgoh]

that's not cheap also.....how about half leather?? :P

 

[sylver'sAD]

theheheh...pvc is cheeper...

 

[ksgoh]

full pvc is hot like hell if travel at noon.....

 

[GRexer]

Sorry, keep on forgetting to check back in here. I removed all the trim to paint, then only use doublesided tape stick them back :)

Hm... i painted mine to the same colour as my car's paint, more matching mar :lol:

 

[khguan]

wah.. good idea!! i was cracking my head wat color to spray...

if my car is metallic grey (AC16941).. if i spray silver on de trims ok ar??

any comments?

 

[goddfadda]

Nice... silver trims interior really looks good...

I used Krylon to spray ma whole entire front to back ... well did about 3 coats of paint... if you watch it.. then no scrathches... otherwise... OEM is still the best...

The utmost best solution is to send it to a car paint shop to do it... they have the right tools to do em and the right paint... anyone interested to do it ... I got a guy who does them...

The dash alone is RM 100... so maybe the whole interior got discount...
PM me if your interested..
