Video tutorial

In this video, the YouTuber shows us how to improve the dashboard of a BMW 3 Series E90/91, which was gray and worn, by replacing these parts with a glossy black. We will need to disassemble the dashboard trim where the air vents are, the center console where the gear lever is located, and the part on the left side of the steering wheel.

Now we need to remove the vents from the dashboard trim, and the start button. This is so we can sand all the trims with fine sandpaper, then apply a coat of adhesion promoter, a coat of primer, and then the paint, which the YouTuber likes glossy, but there is nothing stopping us from painting it our preferred color.

Between each layer, we let it dry well, apply two coats of the final color, and then we can reassemble and enjoy the final result.
