RobAce Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 I can remember a while ago someone found a spray paint that was very similar to the standard finish on the dash panels. Can anyone remember what it was Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hamilton Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 Halfords matt black is also very close if you have the pre-facelift rubber coating on the dash panels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBR Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 What about the facelift dash color? There is a guy selling cans on the US forums for $125 each, which is ridiculous. Would love to find an alternative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob W Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 Plasti-kote in Matt black. Refurbed all my dash panels with using this stuff for the top coat and came out very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mk4Gaz Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 I've recently refurbished my dash panels in the facelift style colour. It's not perfect, but very close to oem. I mixed the paint to my own recipe [emoji41] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hissig Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 looks great! Have you guys found a way to get that stock rubber coating off before painting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamilton Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 Hissig said: looks great! Have you guys found a way to get that stock rubber coating off before painting? I used oven cleaner foam (found the suggestion on this forum)- spray it on and leave it for half an hour to dissolve. Then use something like a scouring pad and water to clean it all off. I believe brake cleaner works well too but I've never tried it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank Bullitt Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 Careful using Acetone, it can melt plastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Bullitt Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 If you want to colour match the OEM paint get yourself and a panel to a bodyshop that has a spectrophotometer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
