foundry grey door trims

I've never been happy with the foundry grey trims on the interior of the ff.
so I decided to bring them up to date a bit.
before.


And after.

I'm really pleased with the new look.
Spent the last week doing them one at a time. Just got one left to complete, then I may have a go at the other interior trim.
I thought I would mention, the front and rear door trims are interchangeable, so you can work on a rear then swap it with a front.

Thanks lads.
after a failed attempt to flat back the foundry grey, when sprayed with the grey plastic primer, it reacted with it.
So all of the foundry grey had to be removed, back to the bare plastic trim, then you can start to build up the layers.
I gave it a couple of coats of plastic primer, wet and dry with 2500 grit, then a good 3 coats of gloss black. I then left this to cure over night to make sure it had fully hardened. Then wet and dry with 3000 grit to remove all the glossy coat. It's time then for lacquer 2 to 3 coats should do it.
as most of you probably know, the primer and lacquer take a lot less time to harden, the gloss black must be given some time to set.
of course this is me with no spray booth or artificial heat, just a decent ambient temperature and my garden shed.
Crikey! Even wifey said it looked good, she's my biggest critic Laughing Laughing Laughing

Thanks stan Thumbs Up
it suits me to be popping up the shed as wifey does a lot in the greenhouse this time of year, as long as I supply her with a coffee and place the pots and compost nearby keeps her occupied, she loves gardening, albeit, telling me where she wants things to be Laughing .
the result is worth it for me, but I do appreciate peeps reading this won't have the spare time it requires, for me along with this great forum it keeps my brain engaged and occupied, there are times when wifey is not altogether herself and there's only so much housework you can do,
Of course on good days i can attack the rr for a few hours at a time. Like new handbrake shoes that arrived yesterday, but that might be anothef post. Laughing

Thought I would just update on some more interior trim I have updated.


Knowing I had a full day at home today, I took the two trims off the centre console last night.
These are very tedious to do, as the apertures for clock and switches etc , take some rubbing down.
Completed virtually in a day, boy it don't half make it better when the ambient temperature is up.

Thumbs Up
don't forget, as mentioned above, you can swap the front with the rear, they are the same.
next on my list is the centre gear stick trim, I've got a new sticker from powerful uk in magnolia, will post when I get around to it.
The pain in the butt will be stripping all the dash down just to get at the sat nav trim, but that's a while away yet.
good luck. Thumbs Up
