Pontiac Solstice Forum - View Single Post - Dash panel tips and tricks by Chuck.

Chuck,
Excellent instructions. I did a very beautiful grey/black marble this weekend.

A couple of tips to add.
(1)The primer stick does have an actual brush built into it. Use your primer for the critical bends.
(2)Do your pre-bends over a socket or rounded edge to follow the cars format. Especially
the hand brake piece. The pieces are flat.
(3)If you ordered the extra door panels and on any long pieces, you can peel off the red backing little by little. Start at one edge and work down.
(4)use a hair blow dryer, not a heat gun to loosen up the pieces that need to be bent.

The kit is cut perfectly. High marks for them.
