Is all that necessary? Like i said i bought a good spraying can (Metallic Blue) and applied it right away after i gave them a good clean. The spray dries highly well in about 5 hours and the finishing is extremely neat. I will be posting some pictures of them very soon.
Hi there,

That way i have listed is the proper way. If you want to do a bodge job you could do 1 layer primer, 1 layer paint, 1 layer laquer.

I wouldnt spray straight onto the plastic without sanding and without any primer as the paint will just bubble/flake after a while.

Hi,

To get the dials surround out you may have to remove the steering wheel, or atleast take the support columns out so you can drop it down abit.. Are you up for a biggish job? I can talk you through it if you wish.
