Show me your painted center console/dash pics - 10/05/2016 17:32
I've just de-gunked my centre console and have got a a few layers of black plastikote on but I'm toying with the idea of spraying it to match the Steel Grey of the car or even the red of the seat leather in my LE. It would be nice to see some pics of others that have been painted a different colour to help decide. Tried a few links from old posts but the pics had gone
To clean off the sticky rubber;
I used a couple of splodges of drain unblocker gel and a basin of hot water. Out in the garden I gave it shake around at arms length with a long brush wearing a dust mask and goggles as the drain blocker stuff is pretty nasty stuff. It worked magnificently and got all the gunk of in under 10 mins. A quick rinse and dry in the sun and I had 2 layers of paint on all within an hour.
Very pleased as i thought it was going to be a tedious job getting it cleaned for painting.
Pics please
