To give a fresh look to the dashboard of your Hyundai Atos, first remove all parts that should not be painted or cover the areas that need to remain uncovered with tape and paper. Clean the entire dashboard thoroughly and then lightly sand it; apply plastic filler and then 2-3 coats of plastic primer, allowing to dry between coats.

The first coat of paint should be very light, like a "mist", followed by 2-3 thicker coats. Allow to dry for 24 hours and reassemble all the parts that were previously removed.

Work in a well-ventilated area and wait for a dry day; otherwise, drying may be compromised.
