My hallway is the only place with no furniture so no risk of painting something I don't want painted. And I live alone so traffic is not an issue. But I had windows closed to eliminate draft blowing dust which was a mistake - I had a massive headache after. All other coats I will do outside. But it might be a while before we have a nice day. I live on the coast and it's always windy.
I used 1200 grit sandpaper and it looks good but I notice if I go over it with a fingernail it leaves a permanent mark. It will be okay for the dash as it's not often I have people in my car so should stay unmarked for a while at least. But not sure about the centre console. Is matte a bad idea for the centre console? Or maybe there are tougher paints? Or should I do it with clear coat for the centre console? What do you guys think?
