I did about 6-8 inches away, doing multiple coats in varying directions
| Gatchaman | 03-30-2007 02:46 AM |
I rubbed down all the parts I did, (steering wheel, dash, vents) with paint thinner before painting them. This will take off any cleaning products that might still be on there, aka Armer All. Everything came out Awsome!
| ekw | 03-30-2007 08:10 AM |
go light on paint thinner.
I can tell you from experience that it will soften some plastics.
a quick pass w/ a cloth would probably be ok, but don't get carried away.

To get rid of streaks in my dashboard, I just randomly sprayed it in quick strokes. It got rid of the streaks, but it's not textured as the paint apparently dried a bit in the air before it hit the dash.
It's not too bad, but you can feel it, and it catches lint from the Meguiars interior wipes. I'll take some pictures this weekend, as everything is back in except for the A-pillar (I need new tabs for the pillar pod).

i was planning on sanding with really fine sandpaper then applying the plasti dip. how many coats average are you guys doing? like 5 or 6?
| AcquaCow | 03-30-2007 02:32 PM |
What you all need to do is find a good spray etcher and then wipe down with mineral spirits.
Then spray them down with plasti-dip.
That would yield great adhesion on just about anything.

I did around 6-8 coats on everything. I didn't use paint thinner, or anything, just a degreasing dish soap.
And you did your steering wheel?? Pictures!

I do indeed have a dash swap, from an 05wrx. I also have my passenger airbag cover covered in suede, because the airbags in the donor car were blown and the covers looked awful.
Here's a couple pictures, the best I have on hand, they're kind of old. You get the idea though.

They are. The interior has been cleaned up a lot more since then, I'll post a couple pictures that show some plasti-dipped stuff. It holds up great.
edit: This is the best new one I have so far. You can kinda see the plasti-dipped door sill on the drivers side, and the knobs on the hvac.

Got a can of this stuff at home depot. Just waiting until I have several hours to take the sanding and multiple coat plunge. It'll probably happen next weekend.

Order it online, I found it plenty of places. Even Lowes or Home Depot doesn't have it? Thats odd.

I had played around with the spray in truck bed liner, as plati-dip spray is hard to find around me.
I had used it in my jeep and with a well prepared surface it was tough as hell. The bed liner gave me a really fine (almost sand like) pebble texture that was not bad at all.
I found 4 cans of black pasti-dip and will compare it to the bed coating.

Red is all I left.................seriously................in all of the fuggin metroplex (or at least 20 hardware stores beside lowes/homedepot as they discontinued it) there were only 4 cans of the stuff in black. And I bought all of them.....but left a few cans of red.
| Matt_H | 04-25-2007 10:16 PM |
I started on my pod bezel today, and ran out. So I went to Home Depot and all they had was red. I went to Lowes and they had 20 or so cans of black.

Alright i have a question hopefully its not too far into the forum for it not get answered....I have an 02 wrx and i want to do the dash peices out of a 06, 07, i think im mgoing to get it out of a tr (if i can find one) that way i dont have to convert it to the new HVAC knobs, but i get how to do everything, but once it gets down the where the shifter its not the same, can i just replace the piece where the shifter is or am i going to have to go get the rest of the center console, and if i have to get the rest of the center console is the (brain fart dont kno what its called) the center console (the part that flips up with the compartment inside) is that the same with the 06-07 or am i going to have to replace the whole unit
| sheepdog | 04-26-2007 01:18 AM |
Umm, try searching. There was just a thread on this like this morning where a guy explained exactly how to do it.

i am painting my stuff tomorrow i think after i get a hold of a can of this stuff. There is a lowes and a home depot pretty close to me so i think im good.
About the texture....is it rubbery? How hard would this be to clean? It looks like it picks up on lint and stuff.

Matt_H - good call on shooting the Autometer pod.
I am not happy w/ the waxy plastic look of mine,
nor the reflections off the upper inside surface.
This should do the trick nicely.

I've painted my Autometer Gauge bezel as well. All I used to scuff it up is one of those green scotch bright pads. I tested it on the back side and found that the sand paper (even 400 grit) would be too rough.
I would also like to note that you should follow the instructions on the can. The part where it tells you to spray to a glossy wet state. There was a couple of hard spots to get to and I wasn't able to get it sprayed smooth. So I'm up for round 2.

Daym. I guess we've all been thinking about this.
Been looking at the thread for about two weeks now. I had an inkling of an idea about using it awhile ago, but missed my connection.
I used to use the clear spray-on on plastic models where I didn't want paint coming off of flexible and jointed bits..
Anyhow... Summit ($4.50 a can there) is out right now, so I have to go plunder the local hardware places..
This'll be nice for the RS (and something else), since I've got a few nicks in pillars and crap.
"WTF am I going to do after I sand that out, it'll look like *****.."
Someone going to post it up on the other board? I don't think I've ever seen anyone using it there.

Usually in the paint section. Just call a lowes or home depot or another hardware store and ask, any one I've been to here in CO has had multiple cans.
If you have to end up resorting to ordering it online, that's an option too.

| IllNastyImpreza | 04-28-2007 11:13 PM |
as a undercoat too?> wow....
| sheepdog | 04-28-2007 11:27 PM |
I've heard it works well as an undercoat, I actually used some of mine to cover up some spots on the bottom of my car where I've hit speedbumps/rocks apparently haha. It seems to be holding up fine, and I didn't even really prep it at all other than spraying it with a hose and letting it dry. Granted, it's already kind of a textured surface, and it doesn't need to look good.
I'd use a light grit, maybe 400? Too rough a grit will show through the plasti-dip, so be conservative.
