So I was thinking of taking apart all the dashboard trim's and then painting them. Was thinking of taking them off and using plasti-dip. Would this work?

Plastidip should work, I've seen some awesome finishes using paint, primer and lacquer from Halfords. I'm going for that option best of luck and don't forget the photos man!

Yeah iv'e seen some really nice stuff done, got a few tips from someone off the forum as well. I'm going to go for vinyl wrapping it myself now, it looks surprisingly more simple than I thought it would be and its still quite cheap. Going to go for a nice matte finish. Will definitely post up some pics!

Those trims are looking nice! I'm going to be doing mine gloss black. Have bought the paint and tools. I have had a play with most parts I want to paint however the glove box strips and the one behind the steering wheel on the left are quite on there. Is it a case of brute force and determination? I'm really worried I will snap them!

Cheers!

Yeah I was quite cautious as well, was really worried about snapping the clips! Just get a trim set and go around it carefully. put pressure on the points where the clips are so i'd just unclip a part, then run the trim tool as far along as i could then pry it open and continue down. Just take your time and youll be fine

That looks ace! Just got some carbon fibre wrap myself, gonna have a go tonight!

Did you do the handles too?

The quality of the wrap seems pretty good (£3.74 on Amazon)... I am really happy of how well it turns out seeing this is my first time doing some wrappings! We shall wait and see if the wraps last! (I hope they do!)







Just want to wrap everything! lol

The carbon fiber is looking good! I havent actually got round to doing the inside door handles yet, ran out of wrap before but ordering some more soon
