Silver Fox Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 I know carbon fibre dash kits have been covered a million times on here but i am after something different: I saw a skyline the other day which had a stick on orange dash kit, just plain orange. It looked amazing I was wondering if anyone knows where you can buy coloured stick on dash kits for supras? Or if anyone has any pictures of this?

Silver Fox Posted September 3, 2008 Author Share Posted September 3, 2008 I did that twice now and messed it up both times GRRR! Second time finished perfect but then cracked bout a week later. So i either have to get it done professionally which i know wont be cheap, or find one of these kits. Anyone had there dash resprayed professionally? How much?

Stratty Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 I had mine done by Knightracer and it was a great job. £150 from what I can remember. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Fox Posted September 3, 2008 Author Share Posted September 3, 2008 I had mine done by Knightracer and it was a great job. £150 from what I can remember. Thats not a bad price. Did that include the gear box surround etc and all paints and primers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silver Fox Posted September 3, 2008 Author Share Posted September 3, 2008 thats a brillaint job. Looks amazing actually. How long did it take for him to do? Im going to pm him def Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stratty Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 I think he had them a couple of weeks as there was a bit of a reaction from the silicone cleaner I had used. Fair play thou, he didn't think feck it, and send them back, he rubbed it all down again and started again. I told him the sort of colour I wanted and he chose the best one. Really happy with them. A job well done. A had a spare set of dash panels so just stuck them on until I got the others back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R3DG3CKO ROB Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 I had mine sprayed in a high gloss black finish by a local spray shop - cost £120, they had them for about a week. I've got a couple of minor bubbles which weren't a problem but about a month ago noticed that the paint had lifted around the gear surround so that has cracked... (more to do with the unndercoat I used when I tried it than what they did I think) They have said they'd re-do it if anything went wrong but it's not that noticable tbh so I haven't botherred.

liam1 Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 yes mate a local sprayer did it for us both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoliathJay Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 What did you do when you sprayed it yourself? I did mine in black, that lasted about 5 months, but i wanted a change, so last week I redid it Side note, dont use nitromors to remove old paint on plastic! I used plasti-kote primer, halfords rattle can (Rover Ametheyst) and halfords laquer. Took about 5 hours all in, and the finish is great, ill post some pics later.
