DO NOT USE THINNER!

I did it based off the recommendation in one of the interior threads and it fucked my dash. Just use a pressure washer and be very patient as it will take a while. I used thinner and it stripper it off very quickly, but it turned it white, almost "dried out" looking. I ended up having to paint mine.

hahahahahaha, trolled. degreaser can turn plastic, what u think thinner is going to do?....

 

[Gannon]

Don't use carb cleaner either, lol.

Will grab it tomorrow dude, completely forgot.

Peyton said he used it on his, let it sit for 2 min, and wiped it down immediately after with water. I didn't let it sit even for a full minute for fear of wrecking the dash and it happened anyway.

I know, should have just been patient with the power washer. Live and learn I guess. It'll get redone one of these days.

 

[Cheeny23]

what kind of thinner did you use? lacquer thinner or paint thinner? and the biodegradable stuff isn't as potent as the normal thinner.

 

[Khaos]

My dad paints, so I used his cheap thinner he cleans his guns with. I knew it was too much after the first small section. I said screw it and did the whole thing and then primer/painted it quick afterwards.

 

[Cheeny23]

ok, but lacquer thinner or paint thinner? very big difference between the two. both are used for clean up and thinning

 

[Cheeny23]

if you used lacquer thinner, i think thats where your problem was

 

[Khaos]

To be honest I don't know, but I wanna say lacquer thinner. Figures, that's my luck :laugh:

Just be wary OP, don't use anything harsh if you do use a chemical to strip it.

 

[Ginger]

chris it prolly was lacquer thinner, thats what i have in my shop for cleaning ect. it is cheaper

 

[Khaos]

Fack. That's my luck. Ah well. Will buy another dash one day or properly sand and paint this one.

 

[BOO5TED]

Too bad you're not closer to me, I've got a top dash pad I decided to not do anything with.

 

[Khaos]

Ginger can pick it up for me when he gets your silvy. Win win.

 

[BOO5TED]

:hmm: I'll put it in the back for you then. :shake:

I need new gauge bezel so I can cover up the 1/2in gap.... Or have any of y'all made/formed something to cover it up?

 

[Khaos]

Taking a pic right now before I forget AGAIN. And what do you mean exactly? Can't picture it.

 

[BOO5TED]

Gap from a DD install?

 

[cknox121]

Gap :yuno:

 

[Khaos]

Better late than never, right?
