that car is awesome shame my lil white 1.2 dont look as good lol... with some hard work n tlc ill have something similar
good job

i bought my lights from a mte at work........only cost me £125

lights from pvdnet.co.uk pete i want discount for this!

foliatec i found was crap and expensive.

vaux paint much better & halfords primer :D

where did u get the lights from mate?

Has anyone used dash film instead of painting it? If so what were the results like?

God knows how many cans i used..........for the clock and ignition surround i used about 2 cans........the scuttle used 2 cans......morrettes used 2 cans. cant remember how much i used on rest of interior cos it was ages ago

yes this is correct it is 1cm think! no you rub down, prime, rub down, prime, rub down spry, rub down spry, rub down and spry, laquer, rub down and laquer. and it looks :Thumbs:

bloody hell! did u put it on 1cm thick! i find it better to use loads of primer less of the paint.prep is 95 per cent of getting a good finish.
iv just done all mine in silver and blue glitter over silver base, it looks really good. id post pix but dont no how!

to do they surrond of the dials i used 2 cans of vauxhall star silver 2 and not much primer.

bigste how many cans of colour paint did u use then? Im gonna colour code @ the weekend!

looks smart :thumbs:

that corsa is soo nice luvin it

Ive done quite a bit of mine...........i did a lot in one go about a year ago which consisted of centre console, door handles, wing mirror covers. Then I was bored the other saturday so I did the clock surround and ignition surround.

How I did it was to take off pieces you are wanting painting then give them a good wash with soapy water to get of grease and dust etc which might be on them, then they will need priming (Halfords do big tins of primer for £5.99). Once primed then the top coat of colour can go on (I buy mine from Vauxhall so that I get a good colour match.....£6 for a little can tho), then once you have a nice even coat which may take a couple of coats to get right you need to laquer it (laquer comes with the paint from Vauxhall, or halfords sell it for £4.99).
You will need to give it a few coats of laquer to get them nice and shiny looking. I would then suggest leaving them to dry and harden properly for a few days then you can put them back on.

If you have the max power haines manual then you can follow that to remove pieces but dont beleive the centre console is as easy to take off and put back on as they make out cos its quite awkward and tricky. All other bits what I painted tho are easy to remove and put back on.

Some pics of my interior are below:






I also painted my Morrettes, scuttle and boot lock surround the same way.

hey finch1, ive jus done sum parts of mine to startoff with, a hint dont do it all in one go cos if u bodge it uve had it, so i started off with the glove box handle. all u really need is sum wet and dry paper 1. 600 2. 1200 then primer, laquer and folia teq interior spray. i used sum of cobra148s work but maninly Haynes Max Power info.

read the tutorials cobra has done a step by step, also in the corsa max power book it tells you how to do this.
