jamesmark Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 thought it would be a good idea to start sanding the dash panels down so i can then paint them...............4 bloody hours later and all i have done is the ashtray and centre bit where the auto gear knob is my hand & arm has never been this sore since i got my first porn film when i was a kid using 1600 and then 1000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terawua Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 mate.. quick tip... go to maplin and get isopropyl acohol... spray it on leave for about 30 secs then start wiping.... it just comes off.. did the whole dash in about an hour. Dont leave it on too long though, and use in a well ventilated area, and wear gloves... its all gooey when the alcohol melts it and it took me ages to get my hands clean - I had operating theatre the next day!
