We need to talk!

Brilliant mate, I'd be interesting in replicating some of that in my car.

I'll get my screen sorted out 1st and then connect it back up.

PM me the link to the pics and I can edit the posts

Jonas what did you use to cover the screen frame? As it's flat and very shiney

Rather than doing more sanding on i mine I was wondering if you've simply cover it with vinyl or something similar.

[Jonas_R]

I did a lot of sanding on the surface, then I got my friend of mine who paints cars, to paint it. I do believe he started out using some kind off plastic primer that he sprays over to smooth out the surface. Then he painted the frame around the top vents, the frame around the screen, the small frame around the three gauges, and the ash tray in a black color that we picked out together.

hth?

cheers

I've just joined mp3car.com, what did you use to remove pinholes?

I've got to find a good spot putty it seems.

[Jonas_R]

If you by pinholes mean, the holes for turning the screen on/off etc. Then I simply removed the using plastic padding (dont know the correct english word). Instead I made a small circuit board with four buttons that can do the same as the buttons in the pin holes.

Does it make any sense?

By pinholes I mean holes in the body filler.

A picture says a 1000 words

The screenshape is all done just need to finish it and remove the small pin holes

Sorry for the hijack

[Jonas_R]

Ahh oki I see what you mean by "pinholes", think I had some off those. As long as the surface is smooth a good painter should be able to remove the pinholes using a plastic primer before paint.

But I do believe you can make it a bit better using some more sanding and perhaps some sort of plastic padding.

Right hand one in this ebay link Jamo.
Used it in the past for various stuff. Very fine paste, good at filling small holes like you mention. Just make sure you let it dry well.
