    I see you choose "mid grey". How is it possible to correctly match the level of black? I think my Tundra plastic is more of a very dark grey. It may have supposed to have been black, but how would you know?

    • @BuildCreate
      @BuildCreate  2 місяці тому +1

      There is a sample book that has all the shades to match.
      I’ve found that the best match do a dark grey is called ‘traffic black’ that’s a mix of both.

    Hi. Nice info. i have nissan micra k12 2004,and i was wondering if i can paint the passenger airbag cover with duplicolor vinyl and fabric.The passenger airbag cover in nissan its something between vinyl an plastic, and it had lost it colour due to hand sanitizer .Is it safe to pain that part? Thanks in advance!

    • @Val-vc2fc
      @Val-vc2fc 22 дні тому

      I'm sure it's fine to paint it. I'd recommend taking out the airbag to paint it as to not stink up the car with paint odor, just disconnect the battery first and leave it for a few minutes so it won't deploy

    It’s a shame they don’t do a clear coat as it would probably work on headlights after you have prepared them for sealing maybe. as it can give black plastic a permanent shine, why can’t it give clear plastic a permanent shine, maybe that’s just wishful thinking, as a lot of my old cars with plastic headlights need restoring because of fading. 🤷‍♂️
