We are in On, Canada, & the paint we need is leather sand+quartz (225) anyone know where is the best place to get it. Has anyone got all the paint off and kept it black, can you get it all off so you can do that????
Thank you for any help. |
You are in luck! Have some left after supplying about 9 other guys out of the litre I had made up - my match was perfect and most of the others were OK also.
Dont worry about the stuff left on - It does re- cover well and seals the 'joins'. (if you are dead set about stripping it all, you can use paint stripper with great care - it can eat into the plastic but is OK if you clean off as soon as it bubbles)
The attached shot is of a console that had about 5 sq. inches peeled off the top surfaces before I decided not to remove the console completely. (the part around the handbrake was a mess)
Send me an email and I'll send you the fact sheet/ preparation instructions as advised by Viponds
Don't worry, we've all been thru the initial "must be removed and covered with leather" phase -- repainting works pretty well - it's only sourcing the stuff with a good match that is the trick! ( I'm picking up 3 litres of salsa red/anthracite/siam beige for 3 members this week)
