dash painting question

Post by grytvikken » Sun Oct 11, 2009 6:26 pm

Hi got a mate that wants to paint his turkish brothel red dash on his nissan and he wants to get a good finish ..... does anyone have any experience with painting dash plastic? I know there are cans at supercheap etc but the colour range is limited and I figured a spray job done with a touch up spray gun would be better. Anyone out ther have any input that might help ..... cheers

Its a pain in the arse job, i used to do that years ago and at the end of the day its a waste of time because 6 months later the paint peels or damaged etc...

You gotta give that area a very GOOD damn clean to be free of grease and oil etc...
There is cheap paints that you can use but there is also expensive ones, they're better but they'll wear out eventually.

What are you painting on?
Cheers
