Hi all
I have a T25 and the dash is a bit tatty so I thought I would give it a quick respray.
I've decided to leave it in and mask everything; I'm just wondering what the best spray paint to use is?
The colour will stay black, I have some matt car spray but I was wondering if this Hammerite would be a better option (in gloss)
http://www.hammerite.com/uk/products/ps ... paint.html or maybe the 'direct to rust spray?
Or does anyone know a more durable option
All opinions greatly appreciated
Thanks

I handpainted my bumpers with black Hammerite--came out a treat--use a soft brush & work quickly cos it dries quick--
