if u want a SMOOTH surface, u will need the epoxy primer

u sand paper the surface a bit to give it a rough surface so that the epoxy primer can STICK to it, u wun want it to come falling off now do you


then u sand paper the epoxy primer to give it that very SMOOTH finish

and if u take out the dashboard to spray, u will have to take out both the pvc and the plastic as it is one piece (well the pvc is screwed to the plastic part, but u wun be able to take it out unless u take out the plastic first since the screws to the pvc is at the back)

yes, u can use the anchor brand of paint, but will it last is another thing
=P
think about it

oh my guard!!!!
this is great job man......how much did it cost u buddy?

 

[DarkAccoon]

not counting the failures cost

then it would roughly be

pvc = RM 38
dunlop glue = RM 7
clothe = RM 50

i think that's about all the cost
=PP
next up, fibering and changing the looks of my bumper ( actually half way done already, but since exams are coming, project halted for the moment
will post it up in two weeks time )

[kaer]

What do you use to stick your black pvc? some special glue?

 

[DarkAccoon]

i just use dunlop glue

u know, the type of glue tjat some trash use to "hidu"
very good if u know how to apply it properly, and its cheap

Hey DarkAccoon,

Dude i am damn interested in giving my car interior a nicer look and better fit instead of plastic. I was wondering whether you could do what you did for your car for my GTi? Is it possible for the side of the door panels to get done as well? If not i still would like to do my dashboard.

How long will it take to do? I have a price in my mind for how much it would cost but you PM me lah and we can talk :D
