painting dashboard to Type R look

here is simply way for makeing your dash to look like one in Type R for small amount of money.....I translated guide and got pictures in right place so you could understand it easily.....(forgive me if some part of translation are in gram. order)......guide is from spanish forum.....


Material:

-nerve and time to take apart dashboard-special primer for plastic and metal-black spray-sintetic mat spray (but it has to be the one with glow effect)

Sprays used

You have to use special primers for plastic and metal in 2 layers. Wait some time for primers to dry and then use black spray to paint the dash. Use 3 layers of black spray wait for it to dry. And now finaly use sintetic mat spray or some black (mat) spray for glow so the black color gets some brightness. When you get to final step use only 1 layer of glow or 2 if you don't like the result. Before putting together the dash wait to see if all the layers are dry and all areas are painted same.
