most of yu have done it
and paying someone £50 for a kit that is stickers is just silly

is it best to paitn the bravo dash console?
if so how is it doen and wat paint etc.

all seem to like the silver effect as havign a black bravo i dont want an all black car..
 
if its just the centre bit here goes:

remove from dash then remove everything from it
using warm water flat gently with 400 wet n dry then dry off then use a plastic primer(prefrebly clear) give it 4 -5 coats leaving 10 mins between each coat then once that has dryed (1hr) flat again in same process as before gently then dry it carefully , then use a filler primer to prime it (3-4 coats) leaving 10 - 15 mins between each coat leave to dy (2 hours) then depending on colour (metalic 800grit, flat 600 grit) wet down and flat with the necersery grit wet n dry gently, then paint the thing giving 6 -7 coats leaving 10 - 15 mins between each coat, once that is done leave for maybe 30 -40 mins then give a gentle flat with 1200 wet n dry in warm water, then leave over night , then flat it down in warm water with 1400 wet n dry (very gently) now once that is done get some rubbing compound and rub it up to a shine then polish and wipe .

word of caution though do not try and get it on in one coat as it will run and if its not completly clean it will react and look like ****.

oh and good luck lol
