Plasti Dip On Interior Parts?

[DiddlyDonker]

Anyone used Plasti Dip to change the colour of their dash (plastic around CD player/climate control unit)? Just bought a FL climate control unit which has some damage on the plastic so I'm after painting the dash black.

Thanks.

Not on my Leon, but I've used plastidip previously on a car dash, it's ok where there is a low chance of scuff and scratches, but it does give that softer kind of finish rather than hard paint.

It would need painting anyway as the FL fascias are a different shade to the pre fl. I would be interested to see it plastidipped though.

Yeah me too I wanna do my interior gloss black and some bits in red.

Ordered 2 cans of matte black Plast Dip. I'll post some pictures when I've sprayed the interior.

Can you post pics of how to remove the interior or are you just spraying them on??

I personally painted mine Satin Black. I imagine the plasti dip will leave an uneven surface, sort of rough like.

Mines lovely and smooth, and glare-free

Did you remove your interior parts?? If so can you explain how?? I have the paint ready just wanna be able to take out the interior and can you post a pic of yours??

CD panel just pops off, then under that you've got about 4-5 screws holding the air vent/upper plastic part. Then when that's off theres another 2 screws for the speedo surround along the edge and the speedo surround then pops off

Okay mate cheers I have the built in sat nav will it still be same and just pop off??

Just in case anyone needs to know for the older models like mine, popping off the panels is only for the facelift models, prefacelift need radio keys (improvised or genuine).

Okay thanks Matt

Did you have to sand it down or prime it? Or did you just spray paint straight on?

Looks a lot better in black.
