After replacing the car radio, it may happen that the central plastics of the dashboard can get scratched. For this reason, it is preferable to paint them for a better aesthetic appearance of the vehicle.

To carry out this operation on an Opel Tigra, we need to remove the plastics and place them on a flat surface. Using sandpaper, we will smooth out the entire area of the plates to ensure an even color once sprayed.

After applying a degreaser to the area, we let it dry and then use spray paint to color the plates. We spray a fixer and gently attach them back to the central dashboard of the vehicle.
