Moving on, something at work came up so unfortunately I didn’t get to complete everything I wanted to today – that said, I made some progress and I’ll let you decide for yourselves as I’m obviously biased, yet I like what I see coming out of those small volico spray cans!
The top of the window trim had some damage (cracks, tears) due to, I assume, pins from the hard top being misaligned – those were filled with liquid leather and I’ll get to dyeing them tomorrow.
The only trim I dyed today was the speaker covers – a big nuisance was to cover the material as I wanted to leave it as is, so cut a LOT of tiny 26 x 4mm labels as there are 12 rows by 3 columns in each speaker cover.
The rest was easy: prime followed by 2x very, very light misty coats and finish off with top coat - job done! It’s not that obvious to tell apart old vs new so I’m a happy camper and I look forward to finishing the other trim pieces tomorrow.
Speaker cover vs handbrake cover - different plastics but color wise it’s a pretty good match!
