coat it with a few layers of layering spray then sandpaper it down. After that, any spray you find should work. just don't spray too much at a time. spray on a very very light coat. doesn't need to cover all surfaces. (looks like a lot of lil dots) let it dry fast in the sun and then spray on another layer. and to give a nice finish, get clear coating spray. hav fun :D

 

[alantan]

hmm..tough...!!! :(

 

[laichong]

not really difficult, i've done mine on a 9years old corolla....

just that u must hv patient doing this.... like KSL said, every time spray on a thin layer, repeat this step 3 or 4 times, and it should be fine...

btw, im just using those RM5 tin spray paint...

 

[alantan]

i just unscrew the 2 screw at the top, and the frame can pull out after that... spray 4 thin layer on that...

 

[laichong]

this one a bit more work, hv to take out the frame, unplug all the wire and the clock display also, take out the 2 switches(left side) from behind......
then take out air-cond flaps, use tape to cover the aircond-display(lower part)
4 layer also...

 

[laichong]

this is the result, left aircond blow hole(not in pic), centre console, meter panel, and Right aircond-blow hole...

one thing good for DIY is u know your car more.... :)

 

[khguan]

you can go to ace hardware and buy paint that is made to be sprayed on plastic and will definately work on PVC. but it is costly. i still suggest you go for 5rm cheap ass spray. doesn't take long at all. 1 1/2 hours and u'll be done. what will take longer is if you want a shine finish (similar to the one on the body of the car) u'll have to do the putty and sand it with water sand paper and that will take a whole day... about 12 hour's worth of work. but then after you spray on with cheap ass spray... and then add the clear shiny top film, looks sweet. a friend did it on a Glanza and it looks sweet. if you want to make your dashboard bits branded... put a 3d badge and make the edges blend in to the back piece. when u spray, it looks like the dashboard is branded!! hahaha.. or even better, buy raw carbon fibre sheets. spread glue all over your dashboard piece and fit the carbon fibre around it. once it is stuck down, cut the pieces to exact measurements. then add about 5 coats of see through layering. water sandpaper it after every layer. will make your dash heavier (opposite of wut CF is supposed to do to your car :P) but looks sweet.
have fun
and DIY IS THE WAY TO GO!!!!
