Refinishing silver dashboard parts - 307

[BestGear]

Guys

Dont know how many of you have thought or actually done it, but I bit the bullet and started to refinish the silver dash bits.

As with much of the Pug, all the bits fall off easily... with just 4 screws holding the dash center bits on.

I got fed up looking at several scratches on the console and a few on the driver door handle.

I have also refinished the door switch/grab panels too, as that rubbery paint they get done with at the factory is really pants.

I used my favourite epoxy based paint... great finish and so very hard wearing once it has gone off. Shame the factory had a fire and they are makimg no more (PJ1).

One thing - when sanding the bits with 1000 grade, I was astonished as to how little paint was actually on there.. talk about cost cutting... if you opened your window on a windy day I am sure the paint would fly off...

PJ1 are still going strong. I use vast quantities of various different PJ1 paints and products restoring motorbikes.

Yes, PJ1 are around, but they now only make black paint apparently...

...And silver engine case paint, including an OE match for 60's and 70's jap bikes, clear heat and solvent resistant lacquer etc.
