Jim_1979 Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 Sick of the piss poor look of my dash. Luckily for me the previous owner had gone to all the hard work of removing all the horrible rubber coating. So here it is so far....... It's goin ok upto now. The largest part could do with being rubbed down again and painted as it's reacted in a little area. It's a vauxhall colour called Moonland. I like it so much I'm thinking of doing the centres of my Axis Milanos the same and keeping the polished lip. It should hopefully be all back in the car tomorrow!

_Shane_ Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 pretty much the exact same colour i used when spraying mine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pabs Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 Was going to say there is a piece missing from that.... the bit along the top edge of the dials and odometer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 As others have said, nice colour. Not overly bright so should fit well with the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim_1979 Posted May 2, 2008 Author Share Posted May 2, 2008 You know.... I forgot about the top section!!! lmao. DOH!!!! What's the best way to paint it with the odometer etc in there. Or does it all come off? (it's in the car and I'm in the house). I'll get that done in the morning Can't believe I bluddy forgot to paint that bit?!?!?!?!?!? Also, what about the plasit bits on the doors around the buttons? How do those come out? cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra_si Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 yeh it all unscrews at the back just cover up the plastic covers where the icons show up. dont use selotape like me, leaves a horrid residue behind :-( im not sure how the door bit comes off although i had the door card off the other day and forgot to look as i wanted to do the drivers side window control area to continue with the colour scheme Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim_1979 Posted May 2, 2008 Author Share Posted May 2, 2008 I'm gonna rub it all down tomorrow then use some high build primer and paint again. There's a few marks/scratches that the primer/paint havn't managed to cover up that the high build primer will be able to. Oh well.... will be good in the end. I could put it in the car as is, but I want it to look perfecto! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 My vectra was moonland. Pretty rare if irc but a stunning colour, especially in the light. Should you not do the window switch door card bit too? Looks good in the pics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobSheffield Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 Door card needs to come off, then there are several screws that hold the armrest on, remove those, and the plastic part of the door unscrews from the armrest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim_1979 Posted May 2, 2008 Author Share Posted May 2, 2008 I'll hopefully have some pics up with it all back in the car tomorrow afternoon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edge Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 Looks like a nice choice of colour. Nice to see it fitted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim_1979 Posted May 3, 2008 Author Share Posted May 3, 2008 Here's some pics of it fitted... The finish isn't amazing as the high build primer I bought to sort it had a duff nozzle, so I just went ahead and laquered it as I couldn't be bothered to go back to the shop! lol. Looks miles better than the old tired dash though. I think I'll just take it to a bodyshop in the near future and get it painted properly.
