Interior Spraying

[NileJackson]

ok, ive got a nice 2000 reg saxo...

i want to do a re-spray of all the interior components on the dashboard and even the speaker panels front and back and the air vents and " center collumn" (sp?) , now the probem being im not much of a handy man.

I have seen a page on this website talking me through how do to to it but im worried about the actualy spraying i can dismantle the car easy enough but its the spraying im scared of.

The previous owner has sprayed the air vents and side speaker panels silver, but i think forgot to primer or laquer the units.... WHAT DO I DO?

i want to respray... so do i have to sand down al of the units back to the bare black skin?! or do i just sand down the units and take off the bits that are flaking! or do i just forget sanding and spray over the top of the previous spray paint.

I am thinking of doing it two-tone... ive seen some tvr tuscans sprayed like that. I think with my car being a metallic green the interior will look very good with the two tone purple/green/orange thingy effect! I know the it will be expensive but i work at halfords and will mix the paint myself and get them at trade price ( cheap ) so thats not a worry... its just i dont really know how to spray ... how long, how many coats, of primer laquer and pain...

help a fellow saxo-fiend?

that page tht u read was probs best to go buy! most ppl tht i have spoken about it to have said two-three coats of primer, same for paint and one or two of laq! sandnin down u wana get all the cleaning products off it and key the surface for the primer to hold onto!

sand down past the black id say. ive done all mine myself
1.sand down
2.get rid of bits and dirt
3.primer
4.paint
5.laquer

with the coats i did three primer. 3 paint and 3 laquer with 15 mins between coats. then give it about 12 hours after laquer to dry completely.

cheers guys, i just hope i dont balls it up.. because you only really get once chance at spraying your interior. If it messes up you got a shabby looking dashboard.

Another question, ive been searching the internet and is there any website or company that will custom spray them for you i wouldnt mind paying money aslong as i knew it was going to be done properly.

Some website try and sell some sort of stick on adhesive pad to make it look like something! i dont want that

i would even buy the whole interior just sprayed a primary colour like green?

any websites? NOT FOR THE STICK ON STUFF, but maybe to spray of pre-sprayed interiors


Thanks guys your all a big help
