Plasti-Dip is pretty forgiving when it comes to sand scratchs. I had no issues with 600 grit. Consider using some fast dry reducer (Dupont 8022S works fine) or some 'final wash' of some sort to make sure the surfaces are clean.... just incase anyone ever used "Amour-All" or any similar silicone based detail stuff.

 

ill be sure to go get some when the snow lets up.

 

Are mineral spirits good for a "final wash"?

 

If your asking me...I'm not sure. I've never used it in a paint application, I think it's more for cleaning metal parts. Reducers tend to leave less residue, dry fast and aren't too harsh for plastics. Not sure about mineral spirits.

 

I had great results using soapy water (ultra dawn) to wet sand, rinsing and then letting my pieces dry where dust couldn't fall on them. If they get dust on them while drying you can use a tack cloth right before spraying on paint.

 

well guys i plan on using soapy water, i havnt been able to get paint on anything yep because with so much snow out i cant get my FC out of the garage to make space for painting lol.

 

PICTURE UPDATE this is how i spent my Saturday. all painted in plastidip and i can already tell its going to do wonders to the inside of my car.

 

Looks like you did a good job Yasser. Did you remember to mask off your green turn signal lenses? I tried using Plastidip on my panels and it turned out looking really bad. The humidity must have been too high or I just didn't put it on thick enough.

 

mine came looking great as for the turn signals i just popped them out, my panels are just dusty now from my hands its all back in the car and looks great IMO, there is a few scratches on the bottom of the cluster from when i was putting the hood on.

 

very nice

 

thanks guys ill post pics of it installed tomorrow going shopping for a new shift **** and some other little things.

 

good job man! Proud owner

 

thank you.

 

cant wait to see it installed! great job man

 

installed but the lights are not working on the center controls so its coming out tomorrow again
also new radio installed finally Ipod hookup

 

new deck installed looking great and all the pieces fitting a lot better.

 

looks pretty good bro, hows it withstanding to finger prints and dust etc? looks like some of the trim is a little bit dirty... are they wiping clean okay? or are they kinda smudged?

 

it wipes away just fine with a cloth or rag. it also stands up well to finger prints its a lot better than the stock 93 finish thats for sure.

 

cool! dont mean to call you out or anything, just when i did mine it came out a bit tacky and the cloth kinda stuck to it...

 

Looks good to me, nice job!

 

thanks guys only thing left to do is get my seats recovered and she should be good for a while..... until i save up for my Spirit R seats
