JDukesy Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Ok so im going to have a go at spraying my dash but wanted to ask if anyone has any suggestions as to how to remove the wood effect stuff on the dash? Has anyone done this? Hope this hasn't been covered to many times before? I searched and didn't come up with much. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westy Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 I know it was a factory option, but tbh not one of the best! I've never seen one mate...is it like a laminate sticker!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
safcdixon Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 A heat gun should lift it off if its a laminate stuff, if it wont come off just paint over it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah looks very out of place tbh. Needs to go! Im thinking matte black spray instead. I think its laminate...not sure though...will have to have a proper look in the morning. A heat gun should lift it off if its a laminate stuff, if it wont come off just paint over it Yeah will give the heat gun a go and see what happens!

JDukesy Posted March 3, 2012 Author Share Posted March 3, 2012 Bump on this. Have finally got round to ripping this stuff off (heat gun did the trick) but there is a lot of glue left on the dash. Does anyone have any ideas on what to use to get it off? Have tried a few things but nothing is having much effect. May have a go with a little white spirit or something, unless anyone has any better ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guigsy Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 i had the carbon one. it came off quite easily. but had a few marks left over. they didnt bother me that much as they were in areas i didnt look at. i eventualy sprayed the dash silver though.

JDukesy Posted March 3, 2012 Author Share Posted March 3, 2012 hah i have tried quite a lot of stuff now and it just wont come off!! Grrrr! Got some GUNK tar remover stuff just had a quick go and it kind of worked....think it may take a while though as there was a lot of glue left over!

sideexitsupra Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 Try nail polish remover. This has been recommended to me for removing the rubber coating on std dash panels and what I had to use on my rear screen after removing the tint film.

Remove's the rubber coating fantastically but leaves the glue on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
