James, did you paint your ivory bits, or were they just in insanely good condition to begin with? I am looking at doing the same thing but my Ivory parts are wrinkled and dirt is stuck inside.

Also what on your doors did the trimmers retrim or paint?
Thanks mate

Hi Cam,

No mate i just cleaned them up using some Hand Cleaner stuff as per link below, BUT i used a different brand (cant remember what at the moment).

http://alscforum.com/discus/messages/127/3347.html?1179835737

I was amazed at how well that stuff actually worked and how my trims came out. I used the hand cleaner and then some armoural afterwards.

I did scrub pretty bloody hard also to get all the dirty bits out.

The trimmers fixed up my cracks near the speakers and also did their best to fix up where the switches sit on the trim as they were well stuffed !

They didnt re-trim anything as such, just painted it.

Hi Mate,
I have learned a thing or two for the future of my 32 -about the cellophane - looks fantastic - but - Is it fire or seriously heat proof -don't want to scare you - hopefully you can check its ignition temp or retardant rating somewhere.
cheers

Hi Michael,

Yeh i did think about the possible heat problem when i decided to use the cellophane but i felt pretty confident that i should not run into any dramas. Although i realise there would be some heat in the display i dont think it would be an issue as the main light in there is a fluro and they dont generally get too hot.

Fair call though mate ! fingers crossed ill never have to use my new fire extinguisher.

NIce, just spend a day doing the hand cleaner interior reco......

It's awesome! my car interior has changed colour completely!! I'm seriously having second thoughts about the retriming now. May just do some black painting

Good to hear Cam !

Yeh i was amazed to see how bright the panels actually became after a good clean up using that orange hand cleaner stuff.

I did get a little bit carried away on the ivory bit you see when you open the driver's side door.... ummm its to the right of the steering wheel and its NOT leather, its plastic - hence my problem.
So i lost a little bit of colour there but its not really obvious and you cant see it when the door is shut anyways !

Also cam ,i reckon you should have a go at using some CONTACT stuff to cover where the woodgrain bits usually go.

You can get some great colours and ive been told it can come out really nicely and make such a difference in your car.

Might wanna get mum to do it though so you dont get any bubbles in it (like when she used to cover your school books in the CLEAR contact hahah)

And about the cellophane, if that doesn't hold up, there are proper inserts you can buy at lighting shops called gels. sort of similar to cellophane but Its used in stage lighting. Bit more expensive but made to handle the heat of lights. and comes in a massive range of colours too.

Yeh , i WAS looking for some perspex at one of those "Reverse Garbage" shops but didnt have any luck so ... cello it was.

Good advice about the "GELS" Michael. Im pretty sure the dash kits are not really THAT expensive from import scene anyways...

Still cant get over what an awesome thread this is. Thanks James. Can't wait to do this in the holidays. I'm gonna crank that orange cleaning stuff first before I prime and paint, hopefully the black will lookk better. Mind you one of the reasons I'm painting is because my spruce is so dirty.
