Paint for my dash

[Spyda]

I'm considering painting my dash the same colour as my car, but as it's not a standard Supra/Toyota colour I need to find somewhere other than Toyota to get the paint. Does anyone know of somewhere in the South-East where I could get a spray can of the colour that matches my car?
It's a Ferrari colour btw. http://www.mkivsupra.co.uk/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

unfortunately not but you could try one of the 'chips away' type companies i know i'm stating the obvious but make sure the paint you get will stick to plastic!

maybe one of the auto factors might do something to fit the bill?

When I had my car painted I simply went to my local Paint Supplier in Coventry (Autopaint International) and had a look through their HUGE catalogue of paint sample/codes.

They`d be able to help I`d image and can supply you with the paint in an aerosol.

try www.scoot.co.uk for your local Auto Paint Supplier.

Could try Movac, used to be along the London road in Southend. They had paint matching facilities but you will need to take a piece of the car with you (fuel cap cover for example), and they'll mix as either a pot or aerosol.

I found somewhere, I prepared the panels yesterday and taken them down there today.
They're going to be kind enough to spray them for me aswell as mix up the paint. http://www.mkivsupra.co.uk/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

Thanks for your help guys,

Looks like they did a good job as well

[Spyda]

Yeah exactly!
I called them asking if they could mix the colour into an aerosol. THey said they could and asked what I wanted it for, so I told them dash panels, and he offered to paint them with their spraying equipment they use for testing colours.
Nice job, I'm well pleased!

If you're in the kent area and want their details, PM me.

Hi Adam,

Your dash looks very nice, how much did they charge?

[Spyda]

15 for the paint, 12 for the laquer.
"And a drink for the sprayer"

I gave them ?40. http://www.mkivsupra.co.uk/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

Result eh!

PS. Thanks for the compliment!

[EmmaG]
