Gimme a call... I gotta finish mine off soon... I'll explain it next time I see you... Although there are a fair few threads around about it ;)

I started mine recently (only done one part)
I used "MOTOSPRAY Flexi Prime" (product code FP400) to prime it and "HOLTS Dupli-color Auto Spray" as the top coat (part number PSC20, Mitsubishi Silver Metallic). All available at Auto-Pro. Both spray cans.
Clean the parts thoroughly with wax and grease remover first, then start with a couple of really light coats of primer, like a fine mist at first. Then do a few more coats, still lightly. Next follow the same procedure with your top coat, starting very lightly and progressing with more light coats.
I did a few top coats and sanded very lightly between a couple with some really fine wet and dry. I've only done the centre console so far as it gets the most wear and tear and I wanted to see how it went. It's been three weeks now and it looks good still, so I'm probably gonna finish the rest on the weekend.

I've got a bit of mine silver bit damaged by leaking car deodoriser (ambi pur). Its gone to dark
gray. Anyone in Adelaide with just a little of the paint left over?

The finish on GTVi (warm silver?) will be quite different to the standard mitsubishi silver. I'm about to get my woodgrain painted in RX-8 titanium. Yay goodbye woodgrain.

i dont think u can do it with a paint brush bro more like spray paint like wat i do. lol

ive painted all my dashes just with dulux cans and the the clear gloss coat, will show u next time is see u how fully sick it is :D
