Refurbished 'walnut' S2 dash

[Gerald-TVR]

Been trying for over a year to get my spare 'wood' dash refinished. First attempt just wasent up to it, poorish finish and soft oil based paint.

Just collected it after have Paul Banham of Myrtle Productions (01843 8449620) Kent has worked his magic at a reasonable price (about a third of what I had been quoted elsewhere) and its bldy fantastic. It probably wont be fitted before Chatsworth but will be by S Club Heaven




Its polyester paint on fibreglass but he also do proper wood veneering, cant recommend him highly enough. Its so strong even paint stripper wont shidt it.

Good job Norman, that looks fantastic! I'm looking forward to some pictures of it fitted in the car.

You like it so much you've taken it to bed...?

Looks great Norman but out of interest why have you tried paint stripper on it?

Looks great Norman - be careful not to scratch it when fitting - cover it in cling film or something.

Nope - Paul Banham said you could pour paint stripper on it, its so tough. He did spray paint over it and then poured thinners and tried to rub it in, to no avail, it just removed the paint. Applied a little compound and polished it. No marks whatsoever, seems to be as tough as tough can be.

It can be scratched but the covering is almost 1mm thick, so even so could be polished out. having said that its in the spare room not the garage just in case.
