Windscreen scuttle panel refurb

Hi

So after removing the wiper arms and panel , gave it a thorough cleaning , slight rub down with some wet and dry

Removed the rear heater air inlet panel, so that as I sprayed it didn’t build up as paint went through the holes

then spent some time ensuring I could hang the panel up in the open and be able to move it if it started raining

Refitted the old clips and used some 4x40 screws to make life easier hanging the panel without it touching it

First coat will be hycote adhesion spray

Will put up progress reports as I move further with it

Thought it better having it’s own thread therefore easier to find

Pics are it freshly cleaned and rubbed down

Well that’s the scuttle panel, heater air inlet and A pilllars have had 2 x coats of the adhesion spray applied

Tomorrow will apply the first coat of grey primer Thumbs Up

After the 2 x coats of adhesion spray will now allow it to dry overnight

Looks good Thumbs Up It’s got me motivated to do my D4, the D4 scuttle is painted with a grey sandy type finish paint, it looks like the previous owner has been very enthusiastic with an snow/ice scraper and fetched the paint off, anyone know what the paint is LR use? - you don’t say on this post exactly what paint you are using.

p.s. mine prepare to watch in a more leisurely style.

It's not painted from the factory M3DPO. It's just black plastic.

gstuart is using the Hycote range of products. Adhesion promoter, plastic primer and bumper black.

I did the same last month (minus the plastic primer) and had great results....
