How To: Painting Interior Pieces

[RedKatanax9]

For removing the factory plastic silver colors, wouldn't using a corser grid wet sandpaper make the process faster, maybe 200/300 grit??

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!

Damn what kind of paint is that?

It's really not that hard dude. Just follow the written directions and TAKE YOUR TIME! I hurried mine along and the finish in not nearly as smooth as I hoped it would be. The direction really are easy to follow just from reading though.

Pics of my finished product.

I just used black vinal dye on all interior pieces I wanted to paint. All the pieces done look like they came like that stock. After saturday I will post some pictures.

P.S. That dash pad in front of the passenger seat is a !@#$ to take off. There are like 5 screws to remove that require you to be double jointed or remove the whole dash to get at. After putting it back on there is still 1 screw that I couldn't reach to put back in. Looks real good black though.

hey man, i was getting ready to paint my center console (around the radio) and was wondering if you had anymore tips before i go pulling it all out. i have a blue that i have painted some other stuff with so im using that to match everything. do you know of a good clear coat to use? i have read all the posts and nothing says about a kind of clear coat. well any suggestions would be great! email me at djsthe1@aol.com, thanks!

has anyone done the bottom halves of the doors in a different color other than silver ??

there is a member who did his in silver (grey) and it looks great -- but any other colors done ??

I like the stock silver trim, but I always wanted to see the trim painted Titainium like my car. I think that would look hot.

 

[bonesmp5]

that would look good -- but i want to see the hole bottoms done -- if i find a picture -- i'll show what it is i want to see

Is everyone using Plasti-Kote?
