I'm sure they'll do colour codes, planning to do it myself.

Hi Martin as far as im aware top of my dash is the same black as caravelle, its a good colour match to my black caravelle door cards. On the subject the buzzweld doesnt seem to be as scuff proof as we hoped, dogs collar isnt doing it any favours and starting to show. that along with it being way darker i think it may be a better buy to just go for the proper black panels instead, unfortunetly

Thanks @rtg1200 , shame because those panels are pretty expensive but the beige needs to go!

Has anyone found a good match for the Titan black yet?

Found this an the web as an alternative TRG Black Vinyl Dye Plastic Paint Aerosol 150ml or 400ml 317 has anyone tried it yet?..

I need to paint the lower B pillar trims to match the VW Titan black door cards and lower dash

Any useful tips or good or bad products greatly appreciated.

Thanks Paul

I’ve had a go with some Buzzweld PIO (Plastic in one)RAL 7021it’s not too far away from the upper dash but it’s different to the Titan black doors

Thanks for the pictures. The finish looks good, how is the durability?

Hi Paul, I’ve had the lower dash done now for about 4 months and it’s taken a few knocks ok. I was going to do the door cards but came across a couple of really cheap caravelle ones on eBay so I’ve put them on. I’ve a couple of spare door cards primer and paint if anyone fancies a go....

How easy is it to remove the cab lining ?

How easy is it to remove the cab lining ?

first off remove all the fittings for the sun visors and lights etc, then seat belts stays and b-pillars, then gently tease the headlining out pulling - towards the front of the van - and then let it drop

Hows everyone doing with their buzzwelded parts up to now? its been a while since i did mine, a year ish, and theyve held up quite well but starting to scuff on the glovebox and where the gear stick is, also showing where the panels rub against each other ever so slightly. May take them off for another blast over to see how well they can be redone, has anyone done that yet?

 

[RyanGerry]

So my a pillars and upper b pillars are holding up fine. I have had to cover the lower b pillars with carpet due to it getting scratched getting in/out. The grab handles and centre console in the roof are still like new.

 

[Martin Gibson]

All mines still looking really good but to be fair,the van has hardly moved for ages!

 

[rtg1200]

Perhaps i didnt cover enough where it was going to get scuffed, ill get another can and do those areas again cheers for the feedback

has anyone considered / has used a truck bed liner spray paint on the lower dash/ moonrock parts? Thinking out loud its a paint designed to resist abrasion?
