Autostyle sells VINYL DUPLICOLOR thats your best bet .
off topic gou : i see you asked on the other forum about the angel rings lol the 2nd car in those pics with the lights on is my car

try greenfields near afrox by that bp garage in paarl..maybe they have something that you can use
duplicolor - just order it online by autostyle

Thanx guys. But you have to pay shipping fees at autostyle. And its expensive there. I know janjira had duplicolour but its near vanguard mall. Cant even remember exactly where. Ill have a look thanx. Tauzty you mean that flyer with the custom angel eye headlights? Got it on powerflow bellvilles website

Duplicolor ou, havent tried it yet, but Id recommend it.

shipping fees is R70 boet, not that expensive
also you can try that xtreme motorsports there opp. N1 City TWT...i think they might also have
fyi, ebie had his center console on his coupe's dash re-sprayed & colour coded to the colour of his car at XLNT Panelbeaters (one of our club's discount sponsors) - maybe you can even try them if you don't wanna diy

Thanx guys ill maybe check that place out at n1 city. The problem of R70 shipping fee is that the paint cost about R150 and then in the end i pay much more where i couldve buy it in cptwn for R150. And ill need more than one and maybe some primer aswell so the shipping might be more in the end. I really wanna do it myself cause i need practice. Theres alot of stuff that need to be resprayed eventually so wanna do it myself.. But ill see where i can get it.

I would recommend you use a quality plastic primer first before respraying them. Plastic has a nasty habit of peeling sometimes after you spray it, be it with normal spray paint or automotive paint.

I get all my paint ( which is alot ) from " Wicked Parts "..Not that expensive,and it is Sprayon..u can go look on my project thread to see the paint ect..and the Plastic primer is a MUST!
Just let me know if you want their number,then il PM it to you...and they deliver

Not sure about duplicolour.But primer is always a good thing.I still have some left if you want?Its Sprayon.

Cwl.. I know midas in paarl sells sprayon. Maybe I must just buy it there. cause Janjira only have grey duplicolour paint.. Diablo what primer did you use? do you get like a sprayon primer aswell? I'll do a few practice rounds aswell.. never worked with primer before but im a quick learner.

I used the Plastic Primer from Sprayon. All you do is,after cleaning your plastics,just sray the Primer onto it like normal spray,give 2 coats.Then once its dry,itl be a grey colour.Then u just spray your colour paint onto that

As many coats as you like.Rather give a lot of coats,than spray a lot at once to minimize tear drops.

I used normal sprayon that you buy at midas or auto parts (filco).. bought the primer and spraypaint there.. just prep the surface good with sandpaper and be patient. lol.. thats normally the problem.. and work by layers.. think ive got 6 light layers on. the more layers the better,.lol..

Which parts of the dash did you spray ?
I want to do the whole thing in black

Can you put up that pic again? I want to do mine also, keen to see how yours came out. Did you put a clear coat on after? Would that help against scratches?
