As title, how long should i leave my sprayed interior bits before i laquer them?
Then how long should i leave the laquer before i put them back in the car?
Cheers

Looks good, dont know about the red inserts though!
Get it colour coded and spray your 16v badges silver.
Why does your entre console look extremely shiny?
Alpine 9855r. Got one aswell, brilliant units! although a little bit complicated for my liking.
I prefer the old 'Bass + or -' 'Treble + or -' so to speak.
I dont have the patience to correct each speaker timing to the micro-second!!
Lol!
Well i went to halfords and bought a 300ml can of plastic primer (grey), 500ml of Audi Metallic Silver paint, 500ml of Clear Laquer and a 300ml Can of Satin Black.
Just finished the primer, will spray them tomorrow and then laquer them on wednesday.
Ill post up some pics of the finished...
Right, i have decided to spray some bits of my interior tomorrow (Handbrake Button, Gear Knob Insert, Door Handles etc).
I know how to do it and all that i just want to know where the best place to get the stuff for it would be.
The Sand Paper, Plastic Primer, Silver Paint, Clear Laquer.
I...
If you purchase the incartec adaptors you dont have to take the dash off at all. Just plugs straight into the standard renault ones (the yellow block one as well)
As for it not working, a wire has probably fallen out as you were pushing the unit back in. I had this with the radio connection on mine.
I dont think its possible once you have it as an mp3 track.
You need the original file with all the separate audio tracks.
The mp3 file merges all the audio together as one track. I think anyway.
Hmm ok, well i just rang up CarPhoneWarehouse and they are gonna do a doorstep swap of my one for a brand new one.
I may as well give it a go.... im not without a phone at all so it doesnt bother me really.
Ok, i just recieved my brand new Nokia N95 today only to find that the screen wobbles from side to side when you press any of the buttons that are on the screen part!
Very annoying, think i am gonna return it and get another one!
Anyone else had problems like this?
(On the right hand corner...
You would have a booming business if you were to do this!
If you are a single man doing it as an on the side thing you are likely to be 100 times cheaper than a spray shop.
People on here always want bits and bobs sprayed.
As long as you can convince people you are good at what you do.
Saw it parked up by park gate school about 10 mins ago and wondered if it was anyone on here.
From what i can re call it had a sticker on the back (looked like the nurburgring one) on an 04 plate. Cant remember the plate exactly, i think it was ht04 ...
On o2. Rang up the cancellation department saying i am going to leave as i have been offered much better deals and they start throwing offers at you here there and everywhere!
Just ordered myself one of these as an upgrade about 2 minutes ago!
Got quite a good deal i think. 600 Mins, 1000 Texts and a free Nokia N95 for £35 a month :approve:
Hope its as good as i have have heard!
Anyone tried the GPS for it yet?
Can you load TomTom software onto it and do you have...
It may sound kinda pedantic but what is the best silver paint to use for spraying interior bits (Gearknob, Handbrake Button etc)
I mean is it a sort of chrome or matte silver......
Just wanna make sure i get the right colour when i spray these items.
Quite likely to be the fuse i think.
My mate had the same thing when he got his two alpine type r subs installed.
Now he keeps a spare fuse with him all the time!
If you really want some bass, you will hae to get a subwoofer.
Alpine do a pretty nice one that fits under the seat of your car, fairly compact and takes up no boot space!
If you just want a little bit of bass then id recommend the new alpine type r door speakers - £75 for the coaxials or £109...
I have just finished putting in a new head unit and all the door speakers.
It was the first time i have ever done anything like this so i was a bit apprehensive but i have finally got it all sorted now.
I went for an Alpine 9855r head unit (£260) ipod adaptor unit (£60) steeering wheel control...
I wanna give mine a proper good clean at some point. Probaby in the summer holidays i will spend a couple days just cleaning it.
Like you said, taking out the seats, trying to source any rattles. Replace/spray any scratched bits etc etc..
