I am interested on this subject too.

I have stripped and painted the centre console (gear stick surround) but am dreading doing the rest.

The rubber coating is a pain to get off. I physically had to rub with my fingers, the stuff is like a scratchy.

I did not want to scratch the plastic underneath.

So any ideas would be great..

I have repainted my entire dash and gear stick surround. I had never done anything like that before, but one of my friends showed me what to do. If I did it anyone can.

I used Acrylic Paint Thinner to remove the existing paint/silicon on the dash. Just wiped it on with a rag left it for a few minutes and scratched it all off another rag. You can't really damage the plastic underneath easily if you do it this way.

After all plastic had been cleaned we used a plastic primer for the under coat, then normal black spray paint and a clear top coat. All looks really good, better then the old dash…

      Definitely a hearty eater when we go out, I consider these meals my cheat day as I've been watching my calories in and calories out pretty hard since my little fun size stroke, I've gone from a fat boy of 89 Kg, I'm only 165cm tall/short, down to a almost semi lean 73 Kg over the last few years, I'm currently around 17% body fat which my doctor is very happy with, but, my goal is to slowly get down to and maintain 15%,so yeah, I want all of the protein, carbs, fats and sugars when I go out for a binge

      There was a great one on Victoria Rd in Gladesville too back in the day. I can only assume GTSBoy is thinking of the mill up on the wollondilly, no restaurant there any more but they have restored the original steam engine on site and run it every few months, have an annual steampunk festival etc @The Bogan, you came to the wrong town for restaurants. we have a few reasonable asian and indian options but the Paragon is as good as it gets otherwise. That brewery is apparently just opened, been meaning to give it a go some time. The Highlands have plenty of fancy options but I suspect you are more a hearty eater than fancy eater

      Going by the intake & injectors I'd be guessing it's a DE, check the head casting number, should be 5L8 on a DET, 5L7 I think is the DE number.
