I've used matt sprays on interior bits before Plastics and stuff. Looked pretty good, like a factory sprayed colour. If you want things to stand out a bit more, use gloss! You could always buy both cans and see which takes your fancy.

satin black was the best for me, its not quite matt and not quite gloss. it gives a very good factory look.

that dash used to be brown.

Gloss looks really good, had it in the last k10!

Go matt, reduces glare off the dash and makes driving more comfortable in high sun conditions.

Use Gloss and buy yourself some sunglasses, lol.

I wouldn't use gloss, I did in my old car and had a hard time seeing the road in the sun..

I'd go for satin personally.

ok im swinging toward the matt look now, would the spray work on the vinyl door cards? also is there enywhere cheaper than £15 a can for this stuff (halfords)

 

[Arnold]

frauds sometimes do 3 for 2, and the small cans only cost about £6 ish, not £15 Not sure about using them on door cards tho! would probably be better to re-trim them.

 

[joesouthgate]

what! halfords is £5.49 - £6.49 depending on size per can!

 

[curtis]

nah £6 unless you get it on trade + discount like me £2.59 a can haha

 

[joesouthgate]

Its only staff discount cause you don't get trade discount on spray paint i've tried

 

[curtis]

well he swipes both cards and it comes to that....but he is the manager

 

[Robert]

Yeah, you can't get get paint on trade. And can't use trade and staff discount together.

Obviously the manager at your store's overly kind! Lucky git

the £15 stuff i got is the Folia tec stuff for carstyling interior colorspray.
what should i be looking out for?????? just normal spray paint? in satin???

oooooo and how can i get a trade card?????

 

[joesouthgate]
