Message: [QUOTE="powerstrokedkid87, post: 261261, member: 1658"] Next was to remove the fabric from the factory head liner: I did this by carefully pealing a corner up, then slowly with patients working the factory off the head board. I was able to get most of the foam off with the fabric, but for the areas where i couldnt, i used a wire brush, then vacumed the entire head board clean.

I figured if it came out horrible, i would send it out to get redone. It was time to paint all the plastics. Prior to painting, i had a spare dash that i was able to test 2 products on that i was thinking of using. I tested the duplicolor, and the Colorbond paint. [ATTACH=full]80609[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]80610[/ATTACH] The duplicolr was too glossy for me, and from what i heard about it, flaked off easy. Aftre putting tape on it and pealing, the duplicolor pulled off the plastic. The color bond however was a nice satin finish with a good black color, that still showed all the grain in the plastic. That is what i was after, a real factory look. Now Here is where i made an error. I did not use the adhesion promotor the first time i sprayed everything. There for as i was moving pieces around, it all started scratching off. Being that i did not want to half ass it, i stripped all the pieces back down and started over. Color bond was great, and worked with me to get me all the new material, and the adhesion promoter. I stripped everything down with lacquer thinner, cleaned everything real well, and applied adhesion promoter, and the paint. After i was done stripping all the parts, we tested a piece with the promoter. Let it set 24 hours, and i took my keys and could not scratch this stuff off. It was perfect! I also removed the wood grain peices..i had a special idea for those Here is the painting pictures [ATTACH=full]80611[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]80612[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]80613[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]80614[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]80615[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]80616[/ATTACH] they really look awesome andd factory [/QUOTE]
