Re: Painting the center stack
Update? Well, I really liked the look, but the (my?) inability to force the materiel to conform to the square recesses around the rocker switches and HVAC controls (the corners and creases pulled away after time) and the interference issues with the switches and, and worse, the Hazard button (refused to reset!) nixed the deal for me.
Sad. Tina and I worked for many 'effing hours on this project. I used true 3M DINOC material-very HQ stuff, but it really isn't intended for any sort of intricate work, I guess.
Now my issue is getting this stuff un-stuck. I, (stupid) tried to heat it to release. Duh-heat is what activates the adhesive. It's really on there. So, if one tries this:
1) Open up the clearances a bit (.005") around the switches.
2) Figure out a way to convince it to stay in the corners/creases.
I'll try, as I said earlier, some solvents to release the 3M adhesive. Turpentine first-I don't want to damage the plastic in any way.
BTW-I used the 3M adhesive primer on all of the convoluted and inner surfaces-including the back/ends of the wrap, where it ends to keep it from peeling up. I'm paying for that now.
