Painting a dash, Vinyl-cote?
This is for my VW van but fairly relevent to this section I thought. I want to recolour the dash which is grey plastic to a factory look black. I know
some folk have used Vinyl-cote to do this with much success but the only place I've found on the net listing it is FROST & their website
implies it's for use on flexible vinyl seats etc. Is there more than one type or mabye another brand of stuff more suitable?
Any special prep or technique needed to do this kind of thing? It's not new so I'm thinking it'll need cleaned but dont want to use
anything that'll affect the job.
P.S. I know there's a forum just for the T4 Transporter but it's all but unusable at the moment.

i don't know how the dash of a VW van looks but if it's nearly flat you can use normal plastic sticker.
I did my back cover of my Indy with this and it worked out verry nice.
Just bought 1 meter of sticker from a local banner and stickershop.
They have the sticker on the roll of a meter wide, it's not cheap.
I did some water with one drop of soap on the clean metal and on the backside of the sticker and used a small plastic to slide the bubbles away.
If you want to go around a corner you just heat the sticker with a hairdryer.
Works out verry well.
Sorry for my bad English, Marco

Thanks but it's a Modern VW, 2002 so it's pretty much like most modern cars with a big plastic moulding with compound curves etc so
it'll have to be a paint on coating.
