can ask your help? :D

hehe sure can... :D

saw the lancer dashboard and your wira one different size one...
how u manage to get it into your wira?
any tips?

its not actually different size...its exactly the same size, 99.99% same heheh B)

great job dude.
actually i've found that if u dun want the paint to peel off and want the paint to bond on the dashboard completely, u can use spray putty as the base layer, spray a 2-3 layers and sanding then follow with the RM10 spray. but its very very time consuming lar, considering the dashboard is not "flat". but guranteed won't peel off with scratch.

thanks dude for the recommendation... :D
i guess, i just have to be more careful with the surfaces... B)
actually, i have some leftover paint for touch up in the future... :)

 

[sam1741]

or u can spray it 'non-gloss'..
also hard to peel off...

hard to explain.. when u spray...take your spray can futhur away..
can create that effect..

 

[gogsard]

spray putty ? what is it .. undecoat ?

previously my wife helped me...but this time around it was solo from "zerotohundred"(start to finish)...since she's 6 months pregnant now..heheh :P

We should all respect this guy here. He did a very good DIY lesson here, dismantling, installing and taking pics at the same time, not a very easy task. I think most of us, if start doing already, just do till the end, no time to wash hand and take those pics step by step. Two *THUMBS* up for you.

Anyway, did you guys notice that, he changed new dashboard, and also...... NEW Handphone ah???? wuahaha, I saw Nokia on the old dashboard, and new Panasonic hp on the Lancer dashboard, wah.... hahah
