Title: Should i paint the ashtray?
Post by: Gman on January 16, 2006, 08:36:51 PM

Thoughts please, i quite like it black.

I quite like it in black also. Quick question, do the symbols on the vent panel come away from the inside, or do you need to mask them all individually? What primer / paint are you using; looks good :)

Symbols come out once everything is unscrewed and taken off.  Give them a bit of prize (sp?) with a flat head screw driver and the come off.

Using Simoniz Cellulose grey primer and standard car spray paint, i forget the name its is a yellow can.

eh????? stu you\'ve seen my interior how many times? Sorry i have mine in mazda silver too and the contrast of the black on the silver looks extremely nice when it goes back in the car. I\'d stick with the bits in black. Looks like you have done a lovely job too :)

Cheers, i am just finishing off the dash which is being a real bitch because of the curves (paint keeps running)

Hopefully i have done it, just put on the 5th coat, but i\'m sure i\'ll get a blob or finger prints on it.
