Rare endangered panda interior

Oazix · 07-02-2011, 10:17 PM

So its been about a week and the vinyl on the handles peeled up pretty bad the curve shape was probably a little to much for the adhesive and in the heat it pulled back a little to its org shape.

After a quick test run on some scraps, super glue in gel form seems to have saved the day. Any overage easily wipes off before it dries, after it dried i trimmed it up a little, it was still able to be removed fairly easy, although i glued vinyl on vinyl. Also after it dried i hit it with the heat gun to see if the vinyl would still retracted, the super glue did its job but we'll see how well it holds up in a week or so.

and here's a shot of the newest addition. I love the darker color blue.

oh boy...

I've had issue with the 3m spray on many times. I've switched to Loctyte Performance Adhesive

most of the parts seem ok with the 3M stuff but those handles where just to much for it.

In the long term, the sun may get to the other parts too..

ha i'm sure they will, hopefully just the parts that need redoing but arn't bad enough for me to want to rip the interior apart quite yet.

Looks good! I think it'd look even better if the other spokes on the steering wheel were white as well... interior needs more white imo, right now it's too little and looks random. Add few more pieces and it'll look more factory?
