the results are MUCH nice and better. im happy i did that.

just my 2 cents though

any one have pictures...of an Forest Green Protege with an interior painted...thinking of doing mine but i dun't no wat color would look good...I'd love to see what some1 else did..BTW that blue looks SICK (in a good way) =)

(hmm) Um...if you're talking about walternavy@ya, with his yellow steering wheel, then I'm pretty sure it's just a steering wheel cover, which blends in very well.

If it's not the one, then which one are you talking about?

It's a cover made by wheelskins. http://www.wheelskins.com/

[N2OInferno]

or maybe it's just your hands are really dirty!

how do u put it on, is it just a cover, cuz it looks like it has lace thread.

I don't want to know why they'd be that dirty... (jerkit)lol

 

[N2OInferno]

You lace it on there.

for those of you who painted yours a long time ago... How is it holding up now? Does the sun affect anything? Does it get tachy when it gets hot in the summer?

Also does anyone know of any good paints to use on the interior that arent glossy, like say a semi-gloss or something more along the lines of a brushed aluminum color?

 

[N2OInferno]

Still perfectly fine for me. No wear marks or anything and it definitely hasn't been taken care of very cautiously or anything. Dust likes to get stuck to it but it's also not perfectly smooth since it was rattle canned. No problems here.

Would it be the same procedure for painting the mazda emblem? How would it stand up to the weather?

 

[N2OInferno]

I don't see why not. I've seen entire cars painted with Krylon before so it should be okay.

 

[sgryzko]

Good to hear because it's already done. I just have to put another couple clearcoats. If I like the look of the emblem, I'm going to paint some of the interior pieces. The paint I used was just like the one in the how to, only annodized red instead of blue.

 

[sgryzko]

The clearcoats are done too. For you guys who have painted your emblems, what is the best way to re-mount the stock emblem?

EDIT: Found it!

The pics to this How To aren't showing up on my comp anymore. Can anyone tell me what color the plastic is under the paint? I painted mine annodized red a while ago (just over stock silver) so I never sanded it down all the way. Now I'm looking at a red CF kit since my paint has faded (my fault, not the paint quality). I just need to know how much ground work I'm gonna need to do b4 I install the CF overlay b/c it won't look too good over the current paint. Thanks!

the plastic is gray if I remember correctly.
I'm gonna redo mine too... chicky in my local club does car painting, so i'll get the full clearcoat with my custom paint
Hopefully it'll last longer than the demicoat of clearcoat i have now (boom05)
