Craig855S Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 After seeing Gwas graphite grey dash surround and gear surround i've decided mine needs attention..but what colour? the car is ash black and will eb soon coded with anthracite wheels probably using Mazda 3 grey. interior wise i have a silver gearknob from a fiesta and a silver puma 6000CD (could code these parts to match the interior) im thinking an anthracite colour (as ryans looks ace) or just matching the knob and stereo...which i think stratos silver should do. I had a coded dash in my freedom,bright green...very max power but very well done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeM Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 Id colour code to match the cd player as that would look good Im going to do the same soon graphite grey or similar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weezer Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 Definately something along these lines, to tie in with the wheels and headunit - maybe a shade lighter. Don't go silver though imo http://i192.photobucket.com/albums/z242/blondie_Vi/menharry185.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryan_gwa Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 Mine isn't as shiny as that, never laquered the graphite grey, so its very blended in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryan_gwa Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 Yeah make sure you sand it back. Mainly because you have cleaned it with a chemicals/polish at some point before. I used some quite soft stuff, think it was 1200 grit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marshy Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 kool..cheers ryan..may give it a go at weekend.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tez162003 Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 if it was me id rub it down with soapy water and 400 grit, then go to 800 then 1200, then primer and 1200 grit wet and dry it, top coat, dependant on paint wet and dry, then laquer and polish after few days, not a guide but how id do it, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
