well i thought the long weekend might be a good time to paint the interior of the car...
i pull everything out and get the paint ready and i do everything people have told me...
well i ended up with bubbles.... and its not going as white as i want and i have totally messed it up.... some bits are good but its not as good as what i expected... so it looks like im pulling out again next week and sanding everything back again and starting over... well trial and error but i made alot of errors... lol

I used export paint, the paint bloke said it was good...
i did use a primer but probably should of left it for 24hrs.... like my mother told me ( the paint bloke said do it when its touch dry )
no i didnt use a wax grease remover because i as just told to wash it with warm water.
and i live in an area it never gets over 25 in the middle of summer so i dont htink it was that hot lol...
all i know is that next saterday is sanding day LOL...

make sure after you sand it back you wash it with metho or something and warm soapy water and allow to fully dry in the sun, after that then use a primer and listen to your mother lol, then do lots of light coats of paint. leaving it to fully dry between coats.

Ya know both supacheap and autobarn sell a spray thats spacifically for plastics. It aint that expensive and it works a treat. I used it to recolour the dials on an old XD and thay came up great. Did all the letters with fine permanent markers, shmick. :cool:

You have to clean any part your spraying with wax and grease remover or metho.
You must use acrylic and not cheap enamel.
The reason you ended up with bubles is because you did'nt let it dry enough after you washed it.
