Anyone have some step-by-step instructions on how you prepped your dash peices for painting? How about some product reccomendations.

I used primer on my read door handles, it didn't work!
but I'd clean the surfaces really well with some rubbing alcohol, to remove any grease or built up dirt. Maybe a light sanding with a real fine grit sand-paper and then paint and let it sit till it's compleltely dry. If you don't have to use the car for a couple of days that'd be even better so the paint could cure before you reinstall it.

Sand the pieces with 400 grit
I didn't primer this time
2 coats of color
wet sand 600
2 more coats color
2 coats clear

1. Wash all parts in dish detegent to remove any oils from the surface
2. Sand w/ 400 grit
3. Primer
4. 2-3 coats color
5. 2-3 coats clear coat

I used Duplicolor spray paint and primer because the spray nozzle puts out a nice, smooth stream. Mine looks like it came out of the factory painted.

Really helpfull. Thank you much!
