Then i prime it and sand with 400+ then apply the base clear, if u dont want a shinny finish u can use a matte clear, or even go with some type of interior rattle can, but i would still prep the same. -Mike
cool. I have never worked a soft plastic and thought it might get fuzzy on me. I would like to keep some texture on it.
thanks for the info fellas.
I might start out with just the faded center console.. if that holds up with what I do, I'll branch out from there and do some more on the car.. if not , Ill just get another used console and leave it or try something different. wade into this slowly instead of having a nightmare on my hands possibly.
