I gave the dash bits a paint as they had a snake skin effect on them that was all cracked.
First I gave them a good sand with 240 wet & dry sandpaper.
Then I gave them a good clean with a damp cloth.
I then used a hair dryer to dry them.
Use a hair dryer to get them warm, ready for primer.
I used this plastic primer from b&q, really good stuff. Apply a lite coat first.
Give them 3 coats, use the hair dryer between coats. Afterwards I put them in the airing cupboard over night to dry.
Next, use an in between coat pad to give them a lite sanding all over.
Now they are ready for the top coat. Use the dryer again to warm the plastic
and just dust them over for the coat.
Leave for 5 mins then give them a full coat. Leave for another 5 minutes, still use the dryer, now give them a good wet coat.
This is the finished product.
