This was my First time at painting interior pieces...

What a PAIN!!!!!. ...I found the secret is the "sanding"...make sure is Smooth before painting!!!...

I used Charcoal Mettallic color...Painted the Shifter Plate & Trim Ring
What does everyone think??

 

First pic makes it look kind of rough... but the second pic looks a bit nicer.I don't know though - seems a bit dark for the area. Not sure if I'd go with that color, but it looks like a good job.

 

Looks good man.....

 

nice nice...i did something similar for my friend.......he had a glowstick in his car and it popped and went all over his "side things" of the center console so i offered to paint it...he wanted orange, its a little loud, but it looks really good....im actually trying to find factory match spray paint for my fm so i can do the interior

then we decided to start doin th rest of the car

its not finished but here are a couple pics of the progress

 

Do the top part of t he console too

 

not bad at all. now try painting a whole lip kit in your garage!!! haha

 

yea i am gonna finish up the top part of the console, steering wheel controls, side handles, the thing where u can put extra switches, and maybe the airvents

 

what type of paint are you using, and are you clear coating, im thinking about hitting my car up with some bright ___ blue but idk how this works yet.... hmm maybe i should just do my nightshade my tails first... lol

 

i used metallic duplicolor paint with duplicolor clear...bout 3 layers of color and about 2 layers of clear, wetsanding in between layers and of course all the prepwork before even starting to paint

 

Hey who's Jack'in my thread in here?????...GGrrrrrr...lol

 

my bad....

yo i have a question about your charcoal paint, do you think it looks like flint mica or could pass as flint mica?

 

Lookin' good mang!

Hey Cizzle, can you snap a photo of the whole interior? You did the whole waterfall, didn't you?

 

The Charcoal color is a little darker and it doesnt have the Mica Flakes. I dunno if you do wanna use it or not!...

Nope just the Shifter plate for now..I was gonna do the Waterfall it seems like a Challenge!! becuz after u take out the Waterfall part you have disassemble all the stuff attached to it...then u Really have to make sure u do GOOD sanding before painting etc....I will probably do it when I feel I have the patience for it...hehe

 

Okay bro. Keep us updated. :D

 

nice work

 

ujeah yeah*

 

Im trying to paint mine too but I can seem to get the bottom piece around the shifter off? Can anyone help? Ive already read that thing that mandos wrote but no luck.

 

would you mind posting some close ups of the painted console and dash part? The paint looks pretty good judging by the pics above. I was thinking of doing this as well and just wanted to see how well the paint turned out. looks pretty fresh though...nice work
